Abstract

The possibility of quantitative boron determination via (n,α) reaction in silicon and B2O3+PVA samples has been studied. As alpha-sensitive track detector Makrofol-E polycarbonate foil and as neutron source lmg252Cf with a cadmium ratio of 8 were applied. It was shown that, if the lowest acceptable track density was 103 tracks cm−2 the method could be used to measure B concentrations down to 1 ppm.
