Removal of long-lived [sup 222]Rn daughters by electropolishing thin layers of stainless steel

Removal of long-lived [sup 222]Rn daughters by electropolishing thin layers of stainless steel

Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the 222Rn decay chain on detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter or neutrinoless double beta decay. Removal of tens of microns of material via electropolishing has been shown to be effective at removing radon daughters …
