Computer program TRACK_VISION for simulating optical appearance of etched tracks in CR-39 nuclear track detectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer program called TRACK_VISION for determining the optical appearances of tracks in nuclear track materials resulted from lightion irradiation and subsequent chemical etching was described. A previously published software, TRACK_TEST, was the starting point for the present software TRACK_VISION, which contained TRACK_TEST as its subset. The programming steps were outlined. Descriptions of the program were given, including the built-in V functions for the commonly employed nuclear track material commercially known as CR-39 (polyallyldiglycol carbonate) irradiated by alpha particles.

Proton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملOptical appearance of alpha-particle tracks in CR-39 SSNTDs
The optical appearance of etched alpha-particle tracks in CR-39 SSNTDs under the transmission mode of the optical microscope were studied. The mean grey levels revealed using a digital camera installed on the microscope, together with the major and minor axes were systematically determined for tracks from alpha particles with different incident energies and angles. The grey level properties for...
متن کاملPhoto-Spectro-Metric Study of CR-39 Detectors Irradiated with Heavy Ions
The fission fragments and heavy ions tracks in CR-39 detectors registered by Cf-252 radioactive source have been observed by using photo-spectrometric techniques. CR39 detectors were exposed at 5 cm distance from radioactive source for registering nuclear tracks created by nuclear particles emitted from Cf-252 radioactive source. Cr-39 detectors were etched in 6N NaOH solution at 70 C for 400 m...
متن کاملNuclear tracks detector’s with using a new calibration optical system for the measurement of Radon (Rn)
There are several methods for the measurement of radon concentration or exposure, that use nuclear tracks detectors lodged into dosemeters with different geometries. It was necessary to determinate some calibration parameters of the new detector’s optical system in order to characterize instead of a semicylindrical a cylindrical dosemeter was used in this investigation. The new system we used i...
متن کاملRay Tracing Method
Although the optical microscope has been the main tool for observations of etched tracks in solid state nuclear track detectors for many years, there has been relatively little investigation about the optical characteristics of these tracks. This chapter describes the application of the ray tracing method to light propagation through these etched tracks. The method is shown to be able to reprod...
