Abstract
Effect of high gamma irradiation on track properties of PADC (Homalite) has been studied in the dose range of 10 1– 10 6 Gy . The properties like bulk-etch rates and track-etch rates of the detector are found to increase due to gamma exposure. Etching efficiency of the detector increases due to exposure and it is significant at the dose higher than 10 3 Gy . Another track property, the critical angle, is also influenced by gamma exposure and is found to decrease with increasing dose. In all cases it is observed that the post-gamma exposure has greater effect than the pre-gamma exposure. The experimental results are presented and discussed in details.
