Abstract

ABSTRACT A study of the effects of frequency and electric field strength on the production of electrochemical etch spots in CR39 is described, with the intention of providing a sensitive neutron recorder with a consistent response. Experiments have been conducted with neutron energies from 0.57 to 6.0 MeV, frequencies from 2 kHz to 100 kHz, and electric field strengths from 8 kV cm−1 to 45 kV cm−1. The results indicate that the sensitivity and consistency require the optimization of the electric field strength, while the combined effects of frequency and electric field strength will determine the average size of the etch spots.
