Abstract
The passage of fission fragments is manifested in insulators by the formation of damage lines which can easily be observed by transparence using the electron microscope after a suitable chemical attack. Since the recording efficiency is 100 per cent for mica and plastics this phenomenon has a certain number of applications. After briefly recalling the interaction processes between charged particles and matter, and giving a quantitative study of the relationships connecting the various parameters, the author considers here some of these applications: - thermal neutron dosimetry: it is possible to measure integrated fluxes of between lO{sup 3} and 10{sup 21} n/cm{sup 2}, according to the method used; - fast neutron dosimetry: by using fission fragment threshold sources it is easy to measure biological type doses of about 1 rem: - dosage of very low fissile impurity concentrations: atomic concentrations of about 10{sup -9}; can be measured; this limit has never been attained by conventional methods; - study of fissile elements occurring in atmospheric dusts. Results are then briefly given of an automated counting test for traces effected by measuring the electrical resistivity, of the irradiated membrane. Finally are given the advantages and disadvantages of these solid detectors, especially with respect
