| Abstract | The high-precision measurement of Rn-220 is essential for assessing and preventing thoron radiological hazards. Prior research has revealed that employing a scintillation cell without a clapboard improves the detection efficiency for both Rn-222 and Rn-220 by reducing air pressure, and the Rn-220 calibration factor is established at an atmospheric pressure of 0.4. However, the decrease in air pressure leads to a corresponding reduction in Rn-220 concentrations within the scintillation cell, resulting in lower counts and larger statistical fluctuations. For the purpose of addressing this issue, a ZnS(Ag)-coated clapboard was added to the low-pressure scintillation cell for measuring Rn-222 and Rn-220. Several experiments were conducted in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations. The results of these simulations, along with experiments using the standard radon chamber, provide valuable references for establishing the Rn-220 calibration factor. The experimental findings demonstrate that saturated detection efficiency of Rn-222 and Rn-220 can be maintained at below 0.7 atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the Rn-220 calibration factor, determined with the detection efficiency of 0.73 ± 0.04 at an atmospheric pressure of 0.7, was determined to be 31.98 ± 1.83 Bq·m |
