Abstract
The response of superheated droplet detectors (SDD) loaded with four different active liquids, R-12 (CCl2F2), R-114 (C2Cl2F4), R-134a (C2H2F4) and R-610 (C4F10) have been studied to obtain the gamma ray detection threshold temperature (Tγ) of the respective detectors. A 137Cs gamma ray source is used for this study. To obtain Tγ from the experimental data a phenomenological model has been used. Result indicates that Tγ maintains a linear relationship with the limit of superheat (Tlim) of different active liquids used in SDD. It indicates that the limit of superheat of a liquid can be used for the prediction of its gamma ray detection threshold temperature.
