A complete and detailed analysis of alpha spectra from the Rn-222 and Rn-220 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 Po-218 and Bi-252 allows us also to evaluate their minimum detectable area.

Abstract

A complete and detailed analysis of alpha spectra from the Rn-222 and Rn-220 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 Po-218 and Bi-252 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.
