CR-39 neutron track detectors: combination TLD/track etch dosimeters

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5048689
The dosimetry grade highly cross-linked plastic polymer CR-39 is being used in track etch dosimeters, along with thermoluminescent dosimeters to develop a combination dosimeter that responds over a wide range of energies. CR-39 responds to alphas, protons, neutrons, and heavy charged particles. The mechanisms for track formation are reviewed. Material research efforts are reported. (LEW)
