Abstract

Calculated values of the stopping power of ions in superheated liquid have been used in predicting the minimum neutron energy that will nucleate vapor bubbles in a superheated liquid. Such predictions are useful in understanding the behavior of a new class of neutron detectors based on superheated halocarbon or hydrocarbon drops suspended in aqueous gel.
