AbstractAbstract
[en] In this paper we discuss the design and behavior of a High Airflow Monitor (HAFM) based on Long-Range Alpha Detector (LRAD) technology [1]. The low air resistance construction of the HAFM enables the high airflow crucial for assay of rooms, vaults, or cargo vehicles. This is accomplished by orienting plates parallel to the airflow rather than perpendicular, as are the grids in other LRADS. As will be shown in this paper, the advantages of an LRAD-based volume monitor are its inexpensive simplicity, ruggedness, and its ability to detect contamination that is hidden from traditional alpha detection methods such as Geiger-Muller, gas cell, or solid-state detectors
