Abstract

The results of amplitude spectrum measurement and data processing of 222Rn and its daughter nucleus decays in a high-pressure copper proportional counter filled with xenon at a pressure of 14.8a tm are given. The preliminary estimates of the α/e ratio for different E/P values are also presented.
