Modeling radon progeny absorbed in glass.
The depth distribution of 214Pb and 210Pb in glass was calculated from 218Po and 214Po deposited on the surface. The activity is found in a very narrow zone near the surface (< 100 nm). A fraction of the absorbed 214Po is capable of reaching the surface by decay into 210Pb. This fraction amounts to 29.8%.
