Abstract:The detection characteristics of recycled black and white cinema films have been determined and compared with the well-known solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) named Poly-Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (CR-39). The chemical composition of the used films has been identified as cellulose triacetate, also known simply as triacetate, TAc, by means of Infrared spectroscopy. The etching conditions have been optimized after irradiation of the cinema film with an artificial point source of Am-241 with activity 5.486… Show more
