dc.description.abstract	The fission track registration efficiency of an indigenously prepared Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) has been determined and is found to be (0.89 +/- 0.04).Radiation chemical yield, G-value for loss of ester bonds in this detector exposed to gamma rays from a Co-60 source has also been determined by FT-IR spectrometry. The amount of ester bonds lost due to the exposure was estimated from the change in absorbance of C=O and C-O-C bonds with the gamma dose. The G-value for breaking of ester bonds in CAB detector is found to be about 37/100 eV.	en_US
