Radon daughter removal from PTFE surfaces and its application in liquid xenon detectors
Abstract Long-lived radon daughters are a critical background source in experiments searching for low-energy rare events. Originating from radon in ambient air, radioactive polonium, bismuth and lead isotopes plate-out on materials that are later employed in the experiment. In this paper, we examine...
