“…It may be possible, in an idealized case, where a-energies are discrete and well-separated (with out overlapping 'tails' resulting from a thick-source geometry), to discriminate between different a-particles by simultaneously measuring (i) the surface track-size parameters (area of etch pit, minor axis), and (ii) 'grey level' (or average brightness) corresponding to a single track, using a microcomputer-controlled image analysis system. Such 'nuclear spectroscopy' on a CR-39 detector, irradiated by a-particles of three different energies (3.0, 3.8, and 5.1 MeV), has been reported by Ilic et al (1993).…”

“…INTRODUCTION As is well known, by making use of the relationship between the etching track parameters and the energy deposited in nuclear track detectors, different alpha particles can be identified (Espinosa and Moreno, 1979), (Ilic et al, 1993).…”

This study aims to test energy resolution of the nuclear track detector LR-115 to distinguish the various energies of alpha particles (1-4MeV)that were obtained from radioactive isotope 241 Am.This method is based on the relationship between the energy deposited in the material by ionizing particles and the track developed after a well-established chemical process(NaOH,2.5N,60 o C). Solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD's) have been used successfully as detecting devices and as a passive system to detect alpha contamination on different surfaces. The resulted tracks are performed with a digital image analysis system (image processing) associated with a PC mathematical processor and the track diameter distribution fitted by wblfit formula. The mean track diameter (D) for each used energy, its width ∆D at full width at half maximum (FWHM)and energy resolution power (∆E/E)D were measured for each neighboring energies. The results of energy resolution of LR-115 were compared with results of another nuclear track detectors of similar studies at average energy (3.7 MeV).
