Radon monitoring in gaseous nitrogen used for the filling of the central detector of JUNO

  • 1. Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Physik Department, Lehrstuhl fuer experimentelle Astroteilchenphysik, Garching bei Muenchen (Germany)

Description

The planned JUNO (Jinangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) Detector will use 20 kt of liquid scintillator (LS) based on LAB (Linear AlkylBenzene) as neutrino target within an acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 m. For the filling of this sphere with LS pressurized gaseous nitrogen will be used. To avoid a contamination of the LS with 222Rn, it's content in the nitrogen gas will be monitored. In this talk the status of a prototype radon monitoring system based on a proportional chamber developed at Technische Universitaet Muenchen is presented.
