A table of parameters for heavy ion tracks in CR-39 nuclear track detector. Report for 1 April-31 December 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7066166
A number of parameters that are generally used for the analysis of the heavy ion tracks in CR-39 Nuclear Track Detector have been computed. The parameters are: Residual Range(R), Velocity (beta=V/c), Kinetic Energy per Nucleon (e/nucleon), Effective Charge (z sub eff) and Energy Loss of heavy ions (dE/dx). The computation has been performed for isotopes of interest in cosmic ray work, with charges in the region 2 < or = z < or = 30 and for residual range, R < or = 30 cm. In any Nuclear Track Detector, the residual range of a stopping particle is a very easily measured quantity. The residual range is used as the first entry in the track parameter table. The corresponding velocity is given in the second column. The velocity provides a link with the rest of the parameters. All the entries in a row are interdependent and the table will give the value of these parameters if any one is known.
