- Abstract
A passive direct-reading radon monitor utilizing a custom a particle detecting MOS integrated circuit and electrostatic radon progeny concentrator has been designed, built and successfully tested. Experimental results reveal that quantum efficiency for α detection is unity within experimental error. Radon concentrations of 150 Bq/m3 can be detected in 30 hours with ±10% accuracy. This monitor appears suitable for low-cost, high-volume production.
