Novel Al2O3:C,Mg fluorescent nuclear track detectors for passive neutron dosimetry.
The latest advances in the development of a fluorescent nuclear track detector (FNTD) for neutron and heavy charged particle dosimetry are described and compared with CR-39 plastic nuclear etched track detectors (PNTDs). The technique combines a new luminescent aluminium oxide single crystal detector (Al(2)O(3):C,Mg) with an imaging technique based on laser scanning and confocal fluorescence de...
متن کاملAn5 Radiation Detectors and Dosimetry
Aims Studying this chapter should give you some appreciation of the variety of radiation detectors available and equip you with some practical knowledge about their characteristics and uses. This chapter also contains practical knowledge about the description and measurement of the effects of radiation on humans. You should learn how the problem of measuring doses is currently handled in terms ...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors
Approximately half of the human exposure to radiation is due to indoor airborne shortlived progeny (decay products) of the radon gas (Rn). To measure the airborne concentrations of radon gas and/or its progeny, Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) are usually employed. The NTDs register the alpha particles emitted by radon gas and its progeny in the form of tracks in the NTDs, which will become visib...
متن کاملApplications of Nuclear Track Detectors in Radiation-Protection Monitoring
The present paper deals with the solid state etch-track detectors and their applications to the detection/dosimetry of neutrons, radon, and radon-decay products. Most of the scientists, actively engaged in the late 60’s and in the 70’s for monitoring the occupational neutron-exposure by etch-track detectors, became also involved in the development of personal monitors for the exposure to radon-...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors for Environmental Studies and Radiation Monitoring
Several improvements were made for Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) used for environmental studies and for particle searches. A new method was used to determine the bulk etch rate of CR39 and Makrofol NTDs. It is based on the simultaneous measurement of the diameter and of the height of etch-pit cones caused by relativistic heavy ions (158 A GeV Pb and In ions) and their fragments. The use of alc...
