Investigation of latent ion tracks in SSNTD with small angle neutron scattering
Abstract
Passing the SSNTD (solid state nuclear track detector) charged particles (protons and heavier) form latent tracks. The parameters of these tracks vary with the atomic number and the energy of particles. It is nearly impossible to observe and to analyse latent tracks. We hope that by using the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) it is possible to get information about the diameter of the latent tracks after analysing the signals of collective effects of a big number of tracks. This work is the first attempt to get information about latent tracks by SANS on MURN-TEXT facility of JINR. Essentiallly the study of the influence of particle annealing and of other environmental conditions on the storage of irradiated detectors over a long period requires the anlysis of the latent tracks.
