Bulk Etch Rate of CR-39 Track Detector Exposed to Gamma Dose Using D-Le Method

Abstract

Extended Abstract
The use of solid state track detectors (SSNTDs) has already become well-known, having been extensively used in nuclear physics, space physics, biophysics, geology, nuclear engineering, monitoring radon concentrations of radon gas by recording its emitted alpha particles, as well as in many other fields. It is known that some plastic types of solid state nuclear detectors such as polycarbonate CR-39 and PM-355, cellulose nitrate CN-85 and LR-355 or cellulose acetate CA-80 are highly sensitive to ionizing radiations and charged particles.
