摘要： Alpha particle detecting devices are disclosed that have a chamber that can hold a fluid in a tensioned metastable state. The chamber is tuned with a suitable fluid and tension such that alpha emitting materials such as radon and one or more of its decay products can be detected. The devices can be portable and can be placed in areas, such as rooms in dwellings or laboratories and used to measure radon in these areas, in situ and in real time. The disclosed detectors can detect radon at and below 4 pCi/L in air; also, at and below 4,000 pCi/L or 300 pCi/L in water.

摘要： A gas sensor instrument comprises a housing formed of two parts (102, 10) and a diffusion chamber inside the housing. The diffusion chamber is formed from two parts (106, 108) and at least one of the diffusion chamber parts is formed integrally with one of the housing parts. This allows a reduction in size of the instrument without compromising the size of the diffusion chamber. Additionally, a tubular projection is formed integrally with one of the housing parts to form part of a Faraday cage for shielding an amplifier circuit of the instrument.

摘要： A radiation detector outputs an analog pulse for incident radiation, and a signal processing portion is furnished with a wave height measuring function of converting the analog pulse inputted therein to a digital form and then measuring a peak wave height of the analog pulse and a wave height spectrum measuring function of measuring a wave height spectrum on the basis of measured wave height data, computes a dose rate and mean energy on the basis of measured wave height spectral data, and outputs computation results. The signal processing portion computes the dose rate and the mean energy on the basis of the wave height spectral data in a same wave height range on a same time axis. It thus becomes possible to provide accurate information based on which to determine whether a rise in dose rate is contributed by natural radon and thoron or contributed by a reactor facility.

摘要： An in situ method for detecting alpha particles contained in a liquid medium, which uses a system which includes a counter-electrode and an alpha particle detector including a substrate made of an intrinsic semiconductor material sandwiched between two electrical contacts, wherein the contact intended to be in contact with the liquid medium is made of boron-doped diamond. By forming a particular electrolyte 8 and by causing a current to flow between counter-electrode and the boron-doped diamond contact in contact with the liquid medium, actinides or polonium present in the liquid medium may be concentrated on the boron-doped diamond contact, and by this means the detection limit of the alpha emitters may be lowered.
