Особенности альфа-распада плутония-239 в Антарктиде

В начале этого века сотрудниками лаборатории С.Э.Шноля (ИТЭБ РАН) совместно с Арктическим и антарктическим НИИ РАН на станции Новолазаревская в Антарктиде была организована посекундная регистрация альфа-распада плутония-239. Получаемые с 2001 по 2010 год кремниевыми счётчиками данные записывались в файлы, суммарный объём которых составил около 1 Гб.
