More DescriptionSolid State Nuclear Track Detectors, Volume 1 covers the proceedings of the 9th International Conference, held in Neuherberg/Munchen on September 30 to October 6, 1976. The book focuses on the principles, methodologies, and approaches involved in the study of solid state nuclear track detectors. The selection first elaborates on the track structure theory in radiobiology and in radiation detection; primary damage and secondary electron damage in heavy ion tracks in plastics; computer simulation of collision cascades in some non-metallic solids; and a statistical model for track formation. The text then examines a spatial track formation model and its use for calculating etch-pit parameters of light nuclei; revision of the concept of registration threshold in plastic track detectors; and dependence of the mass-identification scale on different track formation models. The manuscript explores luminescent investigation of mechanism of silver halides radiolysis; ammonium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals; variation of some heavy ion track characteristics with the polymeric detector crystallinity; and some aspects of the etching behavior of cellulose nitrate as track detector. The selection is a valuable reference for researchers interested in solid state nuclear track detectors.
