AgBr emulsion with controlled sensitivity for nuclear research

  • 1. Moskovskij Inzhenerno-Fizicheskij Inst., Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

The characteristics of controlled-sensitivity nuclear emulsions designed to detect the tracks of fast charged particles are described. These emulsions are distinguished by low development-fog (∼10-4 μm-3) and low initial track sensitivity (10-3 -10-2 μm-1). The results of studying these emulsions in a proton beam in controlled and uncontrolled modes are presented. The BR- and RK-type primitive nuclear emulsions controlled by a pulsed electric field are used to attain sensitivity gain factors of up to 100 with a memory time of not longer than 20-30 μs.
