Etch induction time in cellulose nitrate track detectors

Description

An etch parameter almost unnoticed previously, etch induction time, has been measured in Kodak Pathe cellulose nitrate track detector films using 4He, 6Li, 12C, 14N, and 16O ions of known low energy per unit mass for calibration. The etch induction time appears to vary with the parameter (dE/dx)/sub W//sub less-than/1000/Z* where Z* is the effective ion charge and (dE/dx)/sub W//sub less-than/1000 is the restricted energy loss, calculated for a delta-ray cutoff energy of 1000 eV
