CHARGED PARTICLE TRACKS IN POLYMERS: NUMBER 2. REGISTRATION OF HEAVY IONS DURING THE FLIGHT OF GEMINI VI.
Abstract
Several small disks of cellulose nitrate plastic were included as a part of a dosimetry package aboard the Gemini VI spacecraft for the purpose of recording the heavy component of the primary cosmic radiation. An average of 10 tracks/sq cm - day was found in the plastic detectors. Most of these were judged to be tracks of heavy recoil ions; about 1 track/sq cm - day was judged to be due to the primary cosmic ray particles. (Author)
