My setup:

plastic box (~1l) with the cover painted black mat
the bottom of the box covered with sponges saturated with ethyl alcohol (90%) to the limit (all over sponge capacity poured back to bottle)
turned upside down and placed on ~0.5kg of dry ice.
I can see a 'rain' of particles of alcohol, but no traces.

I disassembled smoke detector and attached the sample of americium to the box. No effect.
