Solid state nuclear track detectors are commonly used for measurements of concentrations of radon gas and/or radon progeny. All these measurements depend critically on the thickness of the removed layer during etching. However, the thickness of removed layer calculated using the etching period does not necessarily provide a su7ciently accurate measure of the thickness. For example, the bulk etc...

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...

Attosecond science relies on the use of intense, waveform-controlled, few-cycle laser pulses1 to control extreme nonlinear optical processes taking place within a fraction of an optical period. A number of techniques are available for retrieving the amplitude envelope and chirp of such few-cycle laser pulses. However, their full characterization requires detection of the absolute offset between...
