Özet: Ion implanted - silicon detectors are widely used in the alpha radiation, especially for quantitative analysis in environmental applications. For quantitative measurements of the alpha radiation, their characterization and electronic calibration is required. We have tested the silicon detector and CSA (Charge sensitive amplifier) at the room temperature with test setup, using a Am-241 source with a characteristic energy of 5.485 MeV. The purpose of these experiments was to calibrate and characterize the response of the radon system to charged particle of the same types and energies as those encountered in soil. To meet these requirements, discriminating with pulse width of 400 ns is adjusted. The experimental count results demonstrated that this system can be used in online radon measurements.
