11/12/2015NASA-JSC and DIAS4 Radiobiological Impact on Astronauts Dominated by high LET (≥ 5 keV/µm water) CR-39 detectors are most appropriate

11/12/2015NASA-JSC and DIAS5 Some Space Missions Which Employed CR-39 Detectors LDEF (5.8 Years) EUROMIR (6 Months) Matroshka-1 (616 Days) Matroshka-2 (367 Days) ISS Expeditions (> 6 Months) DOBIES ( days)

11/12/2015NASA-JSC and DIAS7 Fading of CR-39 Sensitivity Was observed for all CR-39 detectors with long time exposure. Compared to TEPC data, results measured with CR-39 are low. Results must be corrected for fading of latent tracks irrespective of source. Use “Fe peak” of exposed detector events compare with accelerator data.

11/12/2015NASA-JSC and DIAS8 A correction formula was found: S c = S o /(1-(a+bT)) where S o = etch rate ratio before correction S c = corrected value of etch rate ratio S c1 = S o1 /(1-(a+bT 1 )) S c2 = S o2 /(1-(a+bT 2 )) for exposure times T 1 and T 2
