- W4384642430 abstract "In most low-background physics experiments, radon is a significant and problematic source of background radiation because it is inert and sufficiently long-lived to pervade laboratory spaces. It may be possible to manipulate (and thus mitigate) radon electromagnetically by taking advantage of its relatively low first ionization energy. When considering ambient-temperature gas phases, only iodine is comparable. The other noble gases, and the most important constituents of breathable air (nitrogen and oxygen), all have higher ionization energies; so it may be possible to selectively manipulate radon in a variety of gas streams by ionizing it with an appropriately low-energy source of photons. Radon’s first ionization energy is in the vacuum UV part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be produced using a deuterium lamp. In this report, we present our attempts to manipulate radon via UV photoionization in a laboratory setting. This approach has the potential to increase radon removal efficiency from gases and/or to improve the efficiency of radon detectors. Unfortunately, our experiments suggest that either the life-time of a photoionized radon ion (before it re-neutralizes) is too short to be of much practical use and/or that our low-cost UV-photon source was not sufficiently energetic for efficient photoionization of radon." @default.
