Calculations of track parameters and plots of track openings and wall pro$les in CR39 detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer programs have been developed to calculate track parameters and to plot track openings and wall pro$les. The programs are based on equations derived for three-dimensional consideration of track development. All possible cases of track openings and wall pro$les are obtainable from these equations. Results are given for lengths of major and minor axes, track depths and surface areas of track openings. Some examples of track openings and wall pro$les are also presented. c © 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

Profiles and parameters of tracks in the LR115 detector irradiated with alpha particles
The three-dimensional and analytical theory for track growth in solid state nuclear track detector is incorporated in a computer program for calculating track parameters and for plotting track-wall profiles and contours of the track opening in the LR115 detector irradiated by alpha particles. Some differences between the behavior of CR39 and LR115 detectors are discussed. Track parameters as we...
متن کاملPassive neutron area monitor with CR39
Background: In high-intensity, mixed and pulsed neutron fields the use of spectrometers or area monitors with active detectors is useless in these conditions neutron measuring devices must have a passive detector. Here a passive neutron area monitor with CR39 track detector was designed and the response was calculated. Materials and Methods: The response of a passive neutron area monitor with C...
متن کاملSearch for Nuclearites with the Slim Detector
We discuss the properties of cosmic ray nuclearites, from the point of view of their search with large nuclear track detector arrays exposed at different altitudes, in particular with the SLIM experiment at the Chacaltaya high altitude lab (5290 m a.s.l.). We present calculations concerning their propagation in the Earth atmosphere and discuss their possible detection with CR39 and Makrofol nuc...
متن کاملThe nuclear track detector CR39: results from different experiments
The nuclear track detector CR39 was calibrated with different ions of different energies. Due to the low detection threshold (Z/β ∼ 6e) and the good charge resolution (σZ ∼ 0.2e for 6e ≤ Z/β ≤ 83e with 2 measurements), the detector was used for different purposes: (i) fragmentation of high and medium energy ions; (ii) search for magnetic monopoles, nuclearites, strangelets and Q-balls in the co...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Influences of Track Superstructure Parameters on Ballasted Railway Track Design
The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...
