Table 2.
Detection efficiencies of candidate parents () and probabilities of delayed coincidences () evaluated from Monte Carlo simulations of bulk (b) and surface (s) crystal contaminations. For the surface contaminations, we sample the decay positions from an exponential distribution with nm. Uncertainties are negligible due to the high Monte Carlo statistics
Isotope | Bulk | Surface |
---|---|---|
Rn | = 84.9% | = 39.6% |
Po | = 96.5% | = 44.2% |
Ra | = 79.5% | = 36.1% |
Rn– Po | = 65.7% | = 14.3% |
