Reconstructing Nuclear Recoil Tracks in the Dark
Astrophysical evidence indicates that 23% of our universe's energy density is in the form of nonluminous, nonbaryonic matter referred to as dark matter. One theoretically appealing dark matter candidate is the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). Because of astrophysical dynamics, the detectable signal from the expected WIMP dark matter halo should exhibit a unique daily directional modu...
متن کاملThree-dimensional visualisation of tracks in OPERA nuclear emulsion films
The possibility of a three-dimensional visualisation/reconstruction of tracks in nuclear emulsion films using X-ray imaging is described in this paper. The feasibility of the technique is established with experimental results.
متن کاملPhotometric Measurements of Thin Tracks in Nuclear Emulsion
Difficulties observed in the application of track theory to CNO particles are attributed to problems in the application of a light scattering correction in microphotometry. 257 Figure 1. Track width W/4 μm vs residual range, of cosmic ray ions in G.5 emulsion. Light scattering parameters are fitted to the track of a 24Mg ion. When the width is calculated for lighter ions (curves) they depart in...
متن کاملDetermination of Scanning Efficiencies in Experiments Using Nuclear Emulsion Sheets
During their exposure, nuclear emulsion sheets detect both tracks from experimentrelated particles, as well as a considerable amount of background tracks, mainly due to cosmic rays. Unless the exposure has been fairly short, it is therefore fairly likely that a fraction of the tracks that have been identified as belonging to the particles the experiment is interested in, are really due to backg...
متن کاملSimulation of Particle Tracks in Emulsion
Micrographs of energetic particles in nuclear emulsion are simulated by computing the spatial distribution of developed grains with the δ-ray theory of track structure, and representing the developed grains by points of light on an IBM 2250 visual display unit. The simulated tracks display many of the features of actual track structure and serve as a visual comparison between experiment and the...
