Abstract:

The effect of sunlight exposure on the neutron response of CN-85 Track Detectors has been studied. It has been observed that the response during the first 28 days of sunlight exposure is lightly enhanced (-10%) and then decreases continuously with increase in the sunlight exposure. After 84 days of sunlight exposure the response of the exposed detector relative to an unexposed detector is only 22%. It is also observed that the response cannot be maintained by wrapping the CN-85 etch track detectors in typewriter black carbon papers if they are exposed to sunlight.
