Neutron detection using CR-39
Description
The performance of the solid state nuclear track detector CR-39 manufactured by Pershore Moundings, (500μm thick, 0,2% DOP, 2,6% IPP), was verified for fast and thermal neutron detection. The application of this detector for the purpose of personal neutron dosimetry was considered. The detectors were etched by electrochemical etching. The influence of etching time, field strength and temperature on detector response is shown. The regarding of the detectors was performed by using a slide projector and an image analyser system.
