Abstract

A technique for studying long-term radon anomalies is proposed. It is intended for anomalies originating from a impulse of the radon concentration generated in a center of destruction during the period of its activation. This technique has been used for quantitative interpretation of experimental data during determination of the spatiotemporal characteristics of a center of destruction and parameters of radon migration.
