“…Type I track detectors (type HARZLAS TD-1, Nagase Landauer Ltd., Japan) use the relationship between the parameters of etched tracks and LET ( 46 ). Type II track detectors (Intercast Europe S.R.L., Parma, Italy) include a set of converters (polyethylene, Makrofol, and nylon) specifically designed to make the detector sensitive to neutrons from thermal to high energy range ( 47 , 48 ). A weighted average of the fluence response factor can be evaluated from the specific response factor and the fraction of neutrons arriving to the point in each energy range (thermal, epithermal, evaporation, and high energy) ( 39 ).…”

“…Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has developed a dosimeter based on PADC track-etched detectors (García et al 2005, Domingo et al 2013 with a layered structure described in detail by Domingo et al (2013) and García et al (2005). These detectors were previously used in EURADOS WG9 experiments and the procedure for reading the dose, based on MC simulation, was presented by Stolarczyk et al (2018) and García-Fusté et al (2020).…”

“…The neutron dose equivalent H was computed according to the Kerma Approximation (therefore using the neutron fluence-to-kerma conversion coefficients k Φ (E) in ICRU 4-component tissue substitute (Chadwick et al 1999) and using the neutron quality factors Q(E) (Siebert and Schuhmacher 1995)). From the experimental net track density per Gy, C PADC , the response function of the whole dosimeter in terms of fluence R Φ (E) (Domingo et al 2013) and the MC unit spectral neutron fluence, φ E (E). Based on that quantities, neutron dose equivalent, H, and neutron fluence, Φ PADC , can be evaluated.…”
