PHOTOMICROGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING GRAIN DENSITIES OF HIGHLY IONIZED PARTICLE TRACKS IN NUCLEAR EMULSIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4730930

A technique for rapid and accurate measurement of gap lengths of nearly saturated particle tracks in nuclear emulsions is reported. The method consists of obtaining photomicrographs of particle tracks with a superimposed image of a calibrated eyepiece-micrometer disc. The gap lengths were measured to an accuracy of 1/4 micron.
