Abstract  Neutron personal dose monitoring is an important part of external monitoring for occupational exposure. From neutron detecting theory of CR39 and dosimeter structure points of view, experiments regarding energy response and angle response as well as dose equivalent response of CR39 neutron personal dosimeter against neutron emitted by Am-Be were carried out. Results show that neutron flux sensitivity strongly depends on the energy and incident angle of neutron. The critical angle of 64° for incident neutron and neutron dose equivalent sensitivity of about 2.14×10-4tracks/(n·cm2) are obtained. The externally-assigned response of CR39 detector is improved through increasing the track density by using the α particle induced by the reaction of 10B(n,α)7Li with the BN as pre-recoil layer, and the increase is vilified by using both Monte-Carlo simulation and experiment exposed by standard neutron source. The personal dosimeter have the ability to distinguish fast/thermol neutrons.
