“…Electronic mail: nikezic@kg.ac.rs Several authors have presented various calculation methods for sensitivity determination. An analytical method and analysis of all possible cases of geometrical relationships between the effective volume and chamber walls were reported in Askari et al 8 Unfortunately, problems analyzed by Askari et al 8 were limited to a point like detector located in the centre of the bottom of a cylindrical diffusion chamber, while in reality the detector has real physical dimensions. Other authors presented Monte Carlo calculations of the calibration coefficient.…”

Computer software for calculation of the sensitivity of a CR-39 detector closed in a diffusion chamber to radon is described in this work. The software consists of two programs, both written in the standard Fortran 90 programming language. The physical background and a numerical example are given. Presented software is intended for numerous researches in radon measurement community. Previously published computer programs TRACK_TEST.F90 and TRACK_VISION.F90 [D. Nikezic and K. N. Yu, Comput. Phys. Commun. 174, 160 (2006); D. Nikezic and K. N. Yu, Comput. Phys. Commun. 178, 591 (2008)] are used here as subroutines to calculate the track parameters and to determine whether the track is visible or not, based on the incident angle, impact energy, etching conditions, gray level, and visibility criterion. The results obtained by the software, using five different V functions, were compared with the experimental data found in the literature. Application of two functions in this software reproduced experimental data very well, while other three gave lower sensitivity than experiment.
