Engineering cell-fluorescent ion track hybrid detectors
BACKGROUND The lack of sensitive biocompatible particle track detectors has so far limited parallel detection of physical energy deposition and biological response. Fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTDs) based on Al₂O₃:C,Mg single crystals combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) provide 3D information on ion tracks with a resolution limited by light diffraction. Here we rep...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors
Approximately half of the human exposure to radiation is due to indoor airborne shortlived progeny (decay products) of the radon gas (Rn). To measure the airborne concentrations of radon gas and/or its progeny, Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) are usually employed. The NTDs register the alpha particles emitted by radon gas and its progeny in the form of tracks in the NTDs, which will become visib...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors for Particle Searches
In this paper we report a search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles and nuclearites using CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIM large area experiment, 440 m exposed at the high altitude laboratory of Chacaltaya (Bolivia) and about 100 m at Koksil, Himalaya (Pakistan). We discuss the new chemical etching and improved analysis of the SLIM CR39 sheets. Preliminary limi...
متن کاملNovel Al2O3:C,Mg fluorescent nuclear track detectors for passive neutron dosimetry.
The latest advances in the development of a fluorescent nuclear track detector (FNTD) for neutron and heavy charged particle dosimetry are described and compared with CR-39 plastic nuclear etched track detectors (PNTDs). The technique combines a new luminescent aluminium oxide single crystal detector (Al(2)O(3):C,Mg) with an imaging technique based on laser scanning and confocal fluorescence de...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors for Charged Particles and Neutrons
It was with great emotion that I accepted to be a guest speaker to this memorial section dedicated to my old-time friend, Prof. Radomir Ilić. In addition to being one of the most outstanding scientists in the field of nuclear tracks, Prof. Radomir Ilić has been always highly acclaimed by the scientific community for his enthusiasm, his warm friendship, and his great vitality. Through his succes...
