摘要:In this study, we studied the sensitivity of polymeric nuclear track detectors (LR 115 type II) to alphaparticles. Our measurements, carried out in the optimal experimental conditions of the chemical etching, revealedthat the strippable and non-strippable detectors used are all sensitive till 80% to alpha particles with energiesbetween 2 and 4 MeV. The results of this study will allow us used any Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors(SSNTD) LR 115 type II (strippable or non-strippable) for the environmental radon measurements. Moreover, aheight of collimator of 21.79 mm will be adopted in our measurement system in order to count an optimum quantityof nuclear tracks.
