Neutral and ammoniacal silver bromide emulsions with polyvinyl alcohol as protective colloid were prepared on glass plates, and their properties were studied. Tracks of alpha particles and protons form in these emulsions without fog increase, the former being located very close to the surface. The average track length is 33 mu for alpha particles and 400 mu for protons. Granular or clumping particles, which were attributed to collective radiation effects, were found in irradiated emulsions near the emulsion-glass interface. Hypersensitization by 6% triethanolamine solution was successful, whereas heating or gold chloride addition resulted in fog increase. However, 6- nitrobenzimidazole was found to reduce fog. Fading of latent alpha tracks was negligible, even for development 30 days after exposure. Directional alpha tracks can be detected using emulsions spread on a cylinder. (D.L.C.)
