Studies on the responses of CR-39 detector to C3+, 0 3+ and proton irradiations

In the present study, CR-39 detectors with thickness of 1.0mm are irradiated respectively by C3+(10MeV, 20MeV, 20MeV), O 3+(10MeV, 20MeV, 30MeV) particles and protons (5MeV) with ion fluences ranging from 1.0??10W2 to 5.0??10 9cm-2. The etching time conditions of the latent tracks for the different irradiation particles with different fluences described above are experimental studied. The curves for track density distributions with irradiation fluences of different energy particles are simulated. The suggested irradiation fluences ranges for the three types of particles detected with CR-39 detector are offered according to the measurement results. Copyright ? 2013 by ASME.EI
