Automatic scanning of solid state nuclear track detectors at low track density
Description
A device for scanning large ares of Kimfold fission track detectors is described. It is being used in photofission experiments where approx.= 104 cm2 of film per run have to be handled. The tracks are first enlarged by etching and sparking. The film is then scanned by a high resolution Vidicon camera and the x and y γ coordinates of each track are stored in a computer. A typical scanning speed is 10 cm2/s. The counting efficiency is close to 100%. (orig.)
