Construction and measurements of a vacuum-swing-adsorption radon-mitigation system
R. W. Schnee, R. Bunker, G. Ghulam +3
Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the Rn decay chain on (and near) detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter…

The BetaCage, an ultra-sensitive screener for surface contamination
R. Bunker, Z. Ahmed, M. A. Bowles +8
Material screening for identifying low-energy electron emitters and alpha-decaying isotopes is now a prerequisite for rare-event searches (e.g., dark-matter direct detection and ne…

A prototype low-background multiwire proportional chamber for measuring alphas and low-energy betas
Z. Ahmed, M. A. Bowles, R. Bunker +9
A prototype multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a radiopure time projection chamber with MWPC track readout to assay…
