A STUDY OF CHARGED PARTICLE TRACKS IN CELLULOSE NITRATE

Abstract

Both experimental and theoretical contributions are presented on the topic of dielectric charged particle track detectors. Cellulose nitrate was the principal track recording material. The study covers four areas: The chemical etch development of tracks; Track registration criteria; Range-energy calculations and comparisons with the etched tracks lengths; Charged particle detection.
