Abstract
The results of response and background study of polyallyl diglycol carbonate (PADC) are presented. In this study, the commercially available polymeric detectors supplied by five different manufacturers were used. For each type/thickness of material, two of three sheets were sampled. Each sheet divided into six equal areas and from each, 3 or 4 background and 2 sensitivity detectors were taken and the total of 512 samples were tested. The sensitivity determined for normally incident bare 252 Cf neutrons. The highest sensitivity of 0.2 cm -2 .μSv -1 with the lowest average background of about 150 μSv for a single sheet was found. The minimum detectable dose equivalent (three standard deviations) obtained was 153 μSv.
