Description

The response of sensitive detectors, CR-39 and ZnP-glass, for 350 MeV 90Zr ions, has been studied. Bulk and track-etch parameters have been evaluated by successive etching. Calibration of the two detectors has been done by correlating the measured track-etch rate (VT) with the residual range and total energy-loss rate. A linear correlation has been observed in both cases. Track registration threshold values of 4.45 MeV mg-1 cm2 for CR-39 and 12.50 MeV mg-1 cm2 for SnP-glass have been obtained. (author)
