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.
