Cold fusion/Lab/LR-115
< Cold fusion < LabSPAWAR has estimated the energy of the neutrons they found at 12-15 MeV.
- Comparison of Pd/D co-deposition and DT neutron generated triple tracks observed in CR-39 detectorsEPJ-AP
Possible papers with information on LR-115 response:
- Detection of Low Energy Alpha Particles and Neutron Induced Protons Using LR 115 Track Etch Detectors
- Energy-Dependent Neutron Detection Sensitivity of Cellulose Nitrate Track Detector
- Neutron energy dependence of different track etch detectors
- Annealing properties of latent damage trails due to fast neutron produced knock on particles in LR-115, cellulose nitrate track detectors This paper's abstract specifically looks at LR-115 response to "14.7 MeV neutron induced recoil nuclei." Indicates annealing takes place at temperatures as low as 40 degrees C. Indicates that high temperature etching may supplement pre-etch annealing. I.e., conclusion, don't let the material get hot after exposure. But could material be "cleared" from background by heating? Etching is recommended at 60 degrees C., perhaps lower temperature etching would produce clearer tracks.
- Advanced passive detectors for neutron dosimetry and spectrometry This research apparently used detector stacks, and found "coincidence-track events on matched pairs of detectors even for a few-micron-long tracks such as those of neutron recoils." I have been planning to use cellulose nitrate to cellulose nitrate pairs of detectors for this purpose, but just found this paper. --Abd 00:04, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
