Description
The International Radon Network was recently established to improve coordination between laboratories and collaborations working on radon detection, measurement, and mitigation has gained support from researchers across the dark matter, neutrinoless double beta decay, and underground physics communities, alongside growing interest in industrial applications and research translation. This presentation provides an overview of recent radon advances, together with updates on the network's objectives. These include: (1) the development of an open access database of radon-related measurements and resources, (2) the standardisation of performance metrics through coordinated intercomparison campaigns, and (3) ongoing technical collaboration through a community review paper on emanation facilities and the scheduled Radon Zero Backgrounds Workshop. Together, these activities are helping to build a coordinated international radon community to support the next generation of rare-event physics experiments.
