Abstract
In the Large Volume Detector (INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory, Italy) the low energy counting rate (E ∼ 0.8 MeV) of each counter is continuously monitored with a sampling rate of 6/hour. From the analysis of the time variation of these signals in correlation with the measurement obtained by a radon-meter we can conclude that the products of radon decay represent an important source of background for LVD counters in this energy range. In addition, we used these measurements to calibrate our counters in terms of radon detection sensitivity.
