Quantifying the effects of neutron fluence on proton signal retention in CR-39.
Rev Sci Instrum

Article Synopsis
- The paper examines how higher neutron fluences affect the detection efficiency of protons using CR-39, a common particle detection method, particularly in inertial fusion diagnostics.
- Experiments revealed that as neutron fluence increases, the recovery of proton signals decreases, with added complications from longer etching times.
- Notably, at 3 hours of etching, a 17% signal loss was observed with high neutron tracks, escalating to 67% at 6 hours, though improved signal isolation techniques can mitigate some of this loss.
