Description
Highlights: • Two methods of determining the etch-rate ratio in nuclear track detector are compared. • New dependence of the etch-rate ratio versus REL in PET is presented. • PET detection threshold is derived for the first time. Two widely used methods of determining the etch-rate ratio in poly-ethylene terephthalate (PET) nuclear track detector are compared. Their application in different regimes of ion's energy loss is investigated. A new calibration curve for PET is also presented.
