“…The thickness of the foil was measured using an optical microscopic (model BH-2, Olympus, Japan) (magnification 900x) and a Heindenhain depth measuring device (Saxena et al 1987) and was found to be 20 ± 2 µm. A stack of Makrofol-N was prepared by gently pressing eight foils together; it was mounted on a slide glass backing for irradiation.…”

“…Some of these factors are the detector irradiation to electrons (Goland and Mateosian 1973), neutron, UV gamma (Khan 1980, Henke et al 1970, Frank and Benton 1970, De Sorbo 1979, De Sorbo and Humphrey 1970 and laser radiation (Kukreja et al 1984). A number of different SSNTDs have been studied by several workers (Farid 1984, Saxena et al 1987, Somogyi 1972 for their suitability as nuclear track detectors. Of these the Makrofol-N was found to be the most favourable and sensitive to the registration of heavy ions.…”

A stack of Makrofol-N (Bayer Co., Germany) plastic track detectors has been exposed to a well collimated beam of 238 U ions with initial energy of 16.34 MeV/n at UNILAC, Darmstadt (Germany). The effect of etching temperature on the etching characteristics of some solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) has been investigated for the registration of 238 U ion tracks. An empirical relation between the etching temperature and the various etch rates has been established from the experimental data. A correlation between track etch rate V T and energy loss rate (dE /dX ) has been established which provides us with an understanding of the mechanism of track formation. The maximum etched lengths of 238 U ions have been experimentally measured using Makrofol-N track detectors. The corrected track lengths have been compared with the theoretical energy range calculations and are found to conform to them reasonably well.

Latent damage tracks of energetic 4°Ar ions (18.56 MeV/u) have been recorded in Lexan polycarbonate detector. Bulk and track-etch parameters are evaluated under successive chemical etching. Our results show a linear correlation between the measured track-etch rate along the track and the corresponding total energy-loss rate and predict a threshold value of 5.0 MeV rag-tcm 2 for track registration. Maximum etchable track lengths of 4°Ar ions as a function of energies have also been measured and compared with three different sets of theoretical ranges.
