Summary:The energy-dependent absolute neutron sensitivity of a polycarbonate recoil track detector was measured for 4-6.5 MeV. The detector was irradiated with neutrons from a D(d,n)He reaction with the ETL Van de Graaff accelerator. After irradiation and chemical etching, the number of etched tracks was counted with an automatic track-counting system. The theoretical energy-dependent sensitivity was calculated using the local energy-loss theory of Katz and Kobeitch and agreed well with the observed results.
