What is Radiator Effect on Plastic Nuclear Track Detectors for High-energy Neutrons about?

The e ect of radiators supplying charged particles to plastic nuclear track detectors has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically in order to apply them to personal dosimeters for high-energy neutrons. Performance of four types of radiator materials, CH2, CD2 (deuterized hydrocarbon), LiF (lithium uoride) and C (graphite), was checked in a quasi-monoenergetic neutron ÿeld generated by p-Li reactions. The e ciency has been numerically calculated based on a model with a special attention to the angular dependence of cross sections and data of characteristic response to light ions. The e ect of respective radiator candidates has been evaluated as a function of the neutron energy. A two-layer radiator has also been proposed to adjust the energy dependence of the relative sensitivity to conversion factor for dose-equivalent.
