Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

222 Rn is a limiting background in many leading dark matter and low energy neutrino experiments. One way to mitigate 222 Rn is to fill external experimental components with a clean cover gas such as N 2 . At the SNOLAB facility in Canada, the 222 Rn concentration in the cover gas systems of the experiments are monitored using a radon assay board developed by the SNO collaboration. To improve the sensitivity of N 2 radon assays, a new trapping mechanism based on activated charcoal has been developed. The trap was purified and tested at SNOLAB. Additionally, a radon calibration source from floor tiles was developed and characterized. This calibration source was used to measure the efficiency of the activated charcoal trap. The methods for determining the efficiency, background, and sensitivity of the trap are described.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
