RADIATION DETECTION BY DECORATION IN SILVER CHLORIDE CRYSTALS,
Abstract
A review is given of the decoration of imperfections in silver halides with emphasis on volume decoration used in radiation detection. The selection, preparation, and decoration of silver chloride crystals are discussed with illustrations of decorated imperfections. Examples of primary cosmic ray particles and high energy proton collisions in silver chloride crystals are presented. The unique features of these crystals as radiation detectors are absence of humidity effects, absence of distortion, nonchemical development at room temperature, delineation of tracks in less than two hours, and crystal thicknesses greater than 3000 microns.
