Description
This paper reports on a new kind of alpha-particle air monitor which is based on the concept of alpha energy range discrimination (AERD). With the help of a specially designed sandwich detector, an on-line discrimination between alpha and beta particles of natural and artificial origin can be performed. The high flow rate of approximately 50-60 m3 h-1 allows reliable surveillance even of large volumes. Typical results are presented, and the properties of the AERD technique are compared with those of competing methods
