Description

To achieve the rapid-evaluation of heavy-ion microbeam profile in the atmosphere, we investigated the improved etching method of CR-39 and semi-sutomatic image analysis. These processes could be reduced down to only one-twelfth and one-thirtieth of that of the conventional method, respectively. Also, the beam-profile was simulated by the SRIM software. These facts made it sure that this present method was worth enough for the rapid-evaluation. (author)
