Ultra-traces of 226Ra in nylon used in the Borexino solar neutrino experiment
Method to measure the surface and bulk activities of 226Ra in thin nylon foils to be used in Borexino, based on high-sensitivity 222Rn emanation detection, taking advantage of strongly enhanced nylon permeability in the presence of water.
