Online $$^{222}$$ 222 Rn removal by cryogenic distillation in the XENON100 experiment

Abstract We describe the purification of xenon from traces of the radioactive noble gas radon using a cryogenic distillation column. The distillation column was integrated into the gas purification loop of the XENON100 detector for online radon removal. This enabled us to significantly reduce the co...
