Radon-induced surface contaminations in neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter experiments

In experiments looking for rare events, like neutrinoless double beta decay (DBD0v) and dark matter search (DM), one of the main issues is to increase the experimental sensitivity through the material selection and production. In the specific the background contribution coming from the materials use...
