Alpha particle spectroscopy in radon/thoron progeny measurements.

A comparison is made between the relative variances and counting time requirements for obtaining radon and thoron progeny air concentrations from total alpha count data and from spectroscopically resolved alpha count data collected from air sampling filters. Spectral resolution is shown to have significant advantages, especially in mixed radon/thoron atmospheres. Systematic biases resulting from imperfect energy peak resolution are shown to be subject to accurate mathematical compensation.
