Description

Radon is one of major background sources in the underground neutrino experiments. Our group has been working to develop a high sensitive radon detector, especially for Super-Kamiokande and XMASS experiments in Kamioka. Recently, we are trying to make a new vacuum-tight electrostatic-collection radon detector with 80 litter volume. In this poster, we will report the basic performances of the new 80-L radon detector and possible applications to the underground neutrino experiments.
