Description

The latent fading of electrochemically etched Makrofol E has been investigated within a 40 days period at ambient temperatures of 5 deg C, 20 deg C, 35 deg C and 50 deg C and different relative humidities of 0%, 50% and 95%. No significant fading has been found for neutron induced recoils as well as for α-particles from a 241Am source. (author)
