Abstract
Polyallyldiglycol carbonate (PADC) detectors were exposed to different dose s of gamma radiation ranging from 10(1) to 10(6) Gy from a Co-60 source. Th e effect of gamma doses on etch-rates were studied. Etch-rate values were f ound to increase at the dose of 10(6) Gy for all types of PADC detectors. T he influence of gamma exposure on sensitivity and etching efficiency of the se detectors was also determined. The experimental results are presented an d discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
