A complete and detailed analysis of alpha spectra from the (222)Rn and (220)Rn progenies was performed by newly developed software.

Abstract
A complete and detailed analysis of alpha spectra from the (222)Rn and (220)Rn progenies was performed by newly developed software. The software identifies the alpha peaks, performs appropriate fits and calculates the net area and its uncertainty, considering the entire background. The deconvolution of the overlapped peaks of (218)Po and (212)Bi allows us also to evaluate their minimum detectable area. The efficiency of the electrostatic detection method was recalculated and new useful considerations on the collected alpha emitters were made.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
