Performance of wire-type Rn detectors operated with gas gain in ambient air in view of its possible application to early earthquake predictions

We describe a detector of alpha particles based on wire type counters (single-wire and multiwire) operating in ambient air at high gas gains (100-1000). The main advantages of these detectors are: low cost, robustness and ability to operate in humid air. The minimum detectable activity achieved with...
