Description

Neutron radiographic properties of recently developed new nuclear track detectors (MA-ND/α, MA-ND/p and MA-ND/p1), manufactured from allyl diglycol carbonate, were studied. It was found that the quality of radiographic image has an optimum at a removed layer thickness of about 0.8 μm. The image obtained under this condition is characterized by high detection sensitivity to neutrons (∼ 8.10-3 tracks/nsub(th) when using B converter) and by excellent inherent unsharpness (∼ 5 μm) as well as high image contrast (maximum value of net optical density is ∼ 1.4).
