The ARAPUCA is a novel concept for liquid argon scintillation light detection which has
been proposed for the photon detection system of the Deep Underground Neutrino …

The widely known CR-39 nuclear track detectors (NTDs) have been used to investigate the
etch pits formed by alpha particles from a 241 Am source moderated to 1–2 MeV. The …

A comparison of track etch parameters at low energy alpha particles is presented, using the
Lantrak and the Baryotrak CR-39 nuclear track detectors. Experimental data from literature …

Makrofol (KG and N) polycarbonates (PCs) are the most versatile solid‐state nuclear track
detectors. These polymers were exposed to gamma radiation of doses ranging from 250 to …

Due to the harsh radiation environment produced by strong laser plasma, most of the
detectors based on semiconductors cannot perform well. So, it is important to develop new …

This paper presents the properties of alpha particle tracks in a polymer, known as Durolon®.
The study involves measurements of the time-dependent evolution of etch pit diameters and …

The detection of alpha particles and other radiation sources has been an important field of
research since the inception of radioactive materials in medical technology approximately a …

A reduction of the detection threshold of Makrofol DE 1-4 to be z/β~ 40 using normal
chemical etching (CE) has been achieved for alpha particles tracks in the energy window 1 …

Characterization by micro-Raman spectroscopy of polymeric materials used as nuclear track
detectors reveals physico-chemical and morphological information on the material's …

Fast detection of alpha particles in the range from 1 to 5 MeV in Makrofol-E polycarbonate
nuclear track detectors (PCTDs) using a new chemical etchant was investigated. 252 Cf and …
