Analysis of {alpha}-Particle Background Events in a High-Pressure Proportional Counter

The results of amplitude spectrum measurement and data processing of {sup 222}Rn and its daughter nucleus decays in a high-pressure copper proportional counter filled with xenon at a pressure of 14.8 atm are given. The preliminary estimates of the {alpha}/e ratio for different E/P values are also pr...

Summary:The results of amplitude spectrum measurement and data processing of {sup 222}Rn and its daughter nucleus decays in a high-pressure copper proportional counter filled with xenon at a pressure of 14.8 atm are given. The preliminary estimates of the {alpha}/e ratio for different E/P values are also presented.
