Analyses of light scattered from etched alpha-particle tracks in PADC
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computational model for light propagation through an etched alpha-particle track was described. Four different cases for light ray propagation through the etched track were studied in detail. The track profile, optical appearance and distribution of scattered light were given for three typical types of etched tracks. These laid the foundation for future automatic determination of properties of the alpha particles producing the tracks through the scattered light. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Light scattering from an assembly of tracks in a PADC film
A computer programwas developed to calculate the light scattered from an assembly of alpha particle tracks in a PADC film. The tracks were randomly seeded on the film to simulate the irradiation by alpha particles emitted by the naturally occurring radon gas and its short-lived progeny. The ray-tracing method was applied to simulate light propagation through the tracks. The angular distribution...
متن کاملMicro-collimator fabricated by alpha-particle irradiation of polyallyldiglycol carbonate polymer film and subsequent chemical etching
In the present paper, we propose a method to fabricate a ‘‘micro-collimator’’ with a thickness of 15mm. A commercially available PADC film with a thickness of 100mm was first chemically etched with NaOH/ethanol solution to obtain a thin PADC film. This thin PADC film was then irradiated by 5MeV a particles through a ‘‘macro-collimator’’ with a thickness of 5mm and a hole diameter of 1mm. This P...
متن کاملDosimetric study of radioadaptive response of zebrafish embryos using PADC-film substrates
We found the alpha-particle priming dose which could effectively induce in vivo radioadaptive response in the embryos of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, to be 4.8e48 mGy, through the apoptotic signals scored in the embryos at 24 h post fertilization. Specially fabricated thin polyallyldiglycol carbonate (PADC) films were used as support substrates for the dechorionated embryos. During irradiation, ...
متن کاملFabrication of micropillar substrates using replicas of alpha-particle irradiated and chemically etched PADC films.
We proposed a simple method to fabricate micropillar substrates. Polyallyldiglycol carbonate (PADC) films were irradiated by alpha particles and then chemically etched to form a cast with micron-scale spherical pores. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica of this PADC film gave a micropillar substrate with micron-scale spherical pillars. HeLa cells cultured on such a micropillar substrate had s...
متن کاملRay Tracing Method
Although the optical microscope has been the main tool for observations of etched tracks in solid state nuclear track detectors for many years, there has been relatively little investigation about the optical characteristics of these tracks. This chapter describes the application of the ray tracing method to light propagation through these etched tracks. The method is shown to be able to reprod...
