It is known that the track formation sensitivity of antioxidant doped CR-39 detectors depends on the dip angle of the incident particle. We investigated this dip angle dependence for a wide range of LET values and dip angles. The track formation sensitivities at lower dip angles were obviously decreased in the LET region below 100 keV/um. We introduced minimum-cutoff dip angles in order to correct for such dip-angle dependence. The LET distribution of the STS-95 mission was obtained from the measurements of etch pits having dip angles larger than the minimum-cutoff dip angles. This new correction method increased the absorbed dose and dose equivalent above 10 keV/um by 54 and 28%, respectively.}, pages = {7324--7327}, title = {Measurement of a Linear Energy Transfer Distribution with Antioxidant Doped CR-39 Correcting for the Dip Angle Dependence of Track Formation Sensitivity}, volume = {47}, year = {2008} }
