Radiation Damage in the Structure of the CR-39 Nuclear Detector Material as A Result of the Alpha's Energy Loss

In this work, the damage caused by passage of alpha particles inside CR-39 nuclear detector material on its chemical structure was studied. All samples at room temperature using a 241Am-Be neutron source with flux 5^10 neutrons.cm-2.s-1 were neutron-irradiated. track detectors, etching is critical step in expanding latent tracks. At 70 °C, NaOH 6.25N etchant found to be useful traces detector. The depths Alpha particle as function time for various energies increased increases. current study uses technique estimate range particles. Track etch rates are frequently determined 2-dimensional photographs openings (diameter) or data. along tracks and formation process investigated PADC(poly allyl diglycol carbonate). findings showed that measurement bulk rate values weight method 1.42 ± 0.02 μm/h. addition, results from 4.47 0.05 5.8 0.19 μm energy1.2 MeV and1.47MeV,respectively
