Nuclear Track Detectors for Environmental Studies and Radiation Monitoring
S. Manzoor, S. Balestra, M. Cozzi +10
Several improvements were made for Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) used for environmental studies and for particle searches. A new method was used to determine the bulk etch rate of…
Fragmentation studies of high energy ions using CR39 nuclear track detectors
V. Togo, S. Balestra, S. Cecchini +12
We report on the measurements of the total charge changing fragmentation cross sections in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using Fe, Si and Pb incident ions. Several stacks…
Nuclear Track Detectors for Particle Searches
S. Manzoor, S. Balestra, M. Cozzi +10
In this paper we report a search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles and nuclearites using CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIM large area experiment,…
Bulk Etch Rate Measurements and Calibrations of Plastic Nuclear Track Detectors
S. Balestra, M. Cozzi, G. Giacomelli +15
New calibrations of CR39 and Makrofol nuclear track detectors have been obtained using 158 A GeV Pb (82+) and In (49+) ions; a new method for the bulk etch rate determination, usin…
Hardware performance of a scanning system for high speed analysis of nuclear emulsions
L. Arrabito, E. Barbuto, C. Bozza +45
The use of nuclear emulsions in very large physics experiments is now possible thanks to the recent improvements in the industrial production of emulsions and to the development of…
Rare Particle Searches with the high altitude SLIM experiment
S. Balestra, S. Cecchini, F. Fabbri +20
The search for rare particles in the cosmic radiation remains one of the main aims of non-accelerator particle astrophysics. Experiments at high altitude allow lower mass threshold…
