Abstract
Two types of polymeric track detectors CR-39 and SR-90 were irradiated with protons, alpha
particles, heavy ions and gamma-rays at different energies and fluences. After irradiation
these detectors were analyzed with an FT-IR spectrometer of Jasco type 5300 in
transmission and ATR modes. We have found that CO2 is produced not only by irradiation
but also by polymerization. The amount of CO2 in the detector material is closely related to
the latent track formation.
