Description
The experiment was completed in the Laboratory of radon university which can regulate temperature, humidity and radon concentration in radon chamber. In the experiment, we measured 220Rn,222Rn by CR-39SSNTD in different humidity. and analyzed the influence of humidity for the results. The results show that the detected efficiency of 222Rn was biggest and the standard deviation is 2.0% when the humidity is 50% from 35% to 95%. the detected efficiency of 220Rn reached the minimum and the standard deviation is 78.4% when the humidity is 75% from 30% to 100%.
