  1. TG 11 overview- Material screening - Hardy Simgen MPI für Kernphysik Heidelberg

  2. Outline • Gamma-ray screening • Radon: • Online monitoring • Behaviour of Rn and Rn daughters • Emanation measurements • Hardware: • New gas counting system at LNGS • New Germanium spectrometer for MPIK

  3. Gamma-ray screening resultsActivities in [mBq/kg]

  4. Gamma-ray screening Screening of PCB for PZ0  Matthias Laubenstein‘s talk

  5. Behaviour of radon + radon daughters • Work is proceeding in Cracow • No update this time, but: „We are getting a clearer picture of Rn + Rn daughters in LN2, but it is not yet complete“ (Marcin Wojcik). • Further activity in preparation: Behaviour of Rn daughters on Ge discs

  6. Radon monitor Ready for shipping  Jochen Schreiner‘s talk

  7. 222Rn emanation measurements Focus on cryostat and lock  Grzegorz Zuzel‘s talk

  8. GNO shield for proportional counters

  9. Ability to measure gaseous radioactive isotopes at Gran Sasso (222Rn, 85Kr, 37Ar, 39Ar, 133Xe, 71Ge, ... ). • On-site 222Rn emanation measurements are now possible for small samples.
