- Abstract
The solid-state nuclear track detectors are widely used in a variety of nuclear physics experiments and radiation protection. The paper presents the first results of the newly acquired TASLImage™ neutron dosimetry system at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. A comparison of experimental and calculated responses of a TASTRAK plastic nuclear track detector to neutron spectrum of Pu–Be source is presented. The ambient dose equivalents determined by the TASLImage™ system are compared with the ones measured by the NuDET-ENE neutron detector based on the use of ZnS(Ag) scintillator covered with a thin film of 6LiF thermal neutron converter accommodated inside the HDPE moderator. The first results are concluded, and further research needs are identified.
