Abstract

A non-scintillating plastic sample in the form of a 6-μm-thin film was exposed to a 1-MeV proton beam at dosages ranging from 10⁷ to 10⁹ rad/cm². The film was found to be luminescent when exposed to ultraviolet light. The intensity of the luminescence is a direct function of the damage to the film and there is no evidence of luminescence on unexposed regions. The luminescence increased to a maximum within 72 h after exposure and remained constant thereafter.
