CHARGED PARTICLE TRACKS IN POLYMERS NO. 7: SENSITIVITY ENHANCEMENT OF LEXAN,

Abstract

Ultraviolet radiation in the presence of oxygen has been used to greatly enhance track-etching rates in Lexan polycarbonate nuclear particle track detector. When irradiated detectors are stored in darkness, the slow variation of chemical track reactivity with the age of latent tracks can be explained as being caused by the presence of oxygen. (Author)
