One of the methods of determination of LET is based on chemically etched track detectors. This contribution concerns with a spectrometer of LET based on the track detectors and discusses some results obtained at: high-energy radiation reference field created at the SPS accelerator at CERN; and onboard of international Space Station where track-etch based LET spectrometer has been exposed 273 days during Matroshka – R experiment.Results obtained are compared with the results at some of studies at some lower-energy neutron sources; some conclusions on the registrability of neutrons and the ability of this spectrometer to determine dose equivalent in high-energy radiation fields are formulated.
