Abstract
We report on the application of CN-85 cellulose nitrate track detectors to neutron dosimetry. CN-85 has the ability to register proton tracks and therefore can be used for neutron detection via neutron-induced recoil events within the detector matrix. The CN-85 detectors were used to study the distribution of the weakly moderated spallation neutrons, produced in the irradiation of an extended Pb-target with 1Â GeV protons. The results obtained are compared with Monte Carlo simulations using the MCNPX-2.5.c code. The thermal and epithermal neutrons can also be detected by CN-85 detectors without the need for a neutron converter via the 14N(n, p)14C reaction, which has a positive Q-value of 626Â keV.
