“…It is worth noticing that the LET calculated using Equation ( 1) is an average LET because it is calculated using an estimate of V t measured on the track. The V ratio is obtained by measuring the major and minor axes of the track opening (3) (see Figure 2). In this way, the impinging angle of the particle can be determined as well.…”

In this paper, the evaluation of the dosimetric capability of a detector based on a CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detector coupled to a 1 cm thickness of PMMA radiator was made with the aim of understanding the applicability of this technique to personal and environmental neutron dosimetry. The dosemeter has been exposed to monoenergetic and quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams at PTB in Braunschweig, Germany and at Ithemba Laboratories, in Faure, South Africa, with peak energies ranging from 0.565 to 100 MeV. The results showed a response that is almost independent of the neutron energy in the whole energy range.

“…Under these conditions the bulk etching velocity is 10 70.5 mm/h corresponding to a removed layer of 6.670.4 mm. The detectors are analyzed using the Politrack track detectors reader [34]. This reader permits to measure several track parameters, some of which are used to calculate the LET of the particle that produced the track.…”
