“…In most codes which simulate the track profiles, the bulk etch rates, V B , are assumed to have constant values (time independent). According to the observation demonstrated in our present paper and the paper by Yamamoto et al 13 a constant value of V B can be assumed only after a few hours of etching.…”

“…5,6 The problem of the development and simulation of etched track profiles in CR-39 material and comparison with experimental results for light ions of different kinds and energies has been the subject of many studies in recent years. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The currently existing computer programs calculate the depth, diameter, range, saturation time, and etch rates versus etching time. The simulation programs reasonably approximate the experimental three dimensional track images for protons, α particles, and Li ions.…”

Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors of the CR-39/PM-355 type were irradiated with protons with energies in the range from 0.2 to 8.5 MeV. Their intensities and energies were controlled by a Si surface barrier detector located in an accelerator scattering chamber. The ranges of protons with energies of 6-7 MeV were comparable to the thickness of the PM-355 track detectors. Latent tracks in the polymeric detectors were chemically etched under standard conditions to develop the tracks. Standard optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used for surface morphology characterization.

“…In the present work, using the TRIAC II code [10], a comprehensive study of the major axis, the minor axis and the mean value of tracks' brightness is presented. The results verify in agreement with previous research [11][12][13][14], the geometrical models' predictions, showing the absence of a linear relation between the tracks' openings with energy. The behaviour of those parameters was investigated for a wide range of particles' incidence angles and for different chemical etching durations, ranging from 6 up to 14 h. As it will be elucidated below, increasing the etching time, the elliptical tracks' shape gradually converts to circular and a linear relation between the mean values of brightness with energy can be established.…”

A spectrometric study of alpha particles using CR-39 solid state nuclear track detectors is described. It is based on the application of software imposed selection criteria, concerning the geometrical and optical properties of the tracks which are created by alpha particles of specific energy falling on the detector at given angles of incidence. These selection criteria are based on a preliminary study of tracks’ parameters (major and minor axes and mean value of brightness), using the TRIAC II code. Since no linear relation was found between the energy and the geometric characteristics of the tracks (major and minor axes), we resorted to the use of an additional parameter in order to classify the tracks according to the particles’ energy. Since the brightness of tracks is associated with the tracks’ depth, the mean value of brightness was chosen as the third parameter. This method could be applied as a low cost technique in studies concerning the radon’s daughters 218Po and 214Po behavior in air.
