Abstract:
The neutron response of electrochemically etched (ECE) CR-39 detectors is determined by the energy and angular dependence of the response to neutron-induced charged particles. This response has been measured for the example of protons with various initial energies and angles of incidence. Besides, some studies were made for modeling the mechanism of ECE of the proton trajectories with the aim of deriving the critical angle of incidence.
