FADING OF TRACKS OF ALPHA PARTICLES IN NUCLEAR EMULSIONS AND A METHOD FOR THE CORRECTION OF THE VISIBILITY OF ALPHA PARTICLE TRACKS IN THE GAMMA BACKGROUND

OSTI ID:4085479
Latent images of tracks of alpha particles and gamma radiation were removed in Agfa-K2 and NIKFI-K emulsions 100 mu thick by using the vapor of hydrogen peroxide at different concentrations as an oxidizing agent at 28 and 32 deg C. A method is also proposed for increasing the visibility of heavy particle tracks in the presence of a gamma background. The method is based on the brief exposure of the exposed plate to vapor of a 6% hydrogen peroxide solution before development. (J.S.R.)
