“…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.

This paper reviews some aspects of solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) and their applications in the radon and other research fields. Several geometrical models for the track growth given in the literature are described and compared. It is found that different models give close results for the dimensions of track openings.One of the main parameters that govern track formation is the bulk etch rate V b . Dependences of V b on different parameters such as the preparation procedures, etching conditions, irradiation before etching, etc. are examined. A review of existing methods for determination of the bulk etch rate and track etch rate V t is also given. Examples of V t functions for some detectors are presented. Some unsolved questions related to V t and some contradictory experimental results published in the literature are also summarized in the paper.Applications of SSNTDs for radon and progeny measurements are discussed. New designs of diffusion chambers that have appeared in the last few years are portrayed. A review of analytical and Monte Carlo methods for the calculation of the calibration factors in radon measurements is presented.Particular attention has been given to methods of long-term passive measurements of radon progeny with SSNTDs. These measurements are rather difficult and there is not yet a widely accepted solution. One possible solution based on the LR 115 SSNTD is outlined here.Methods for retrospective radon measurements are also described. Various applications of SSNTDs in other fields of physics and other sciences are briefly reviewed at the end of the paper. #
