Abstract:
Abstract Many radon detectors exist in the form of a planar disc shaped alpha particle detector mounted in one end of a small cylindrical chamber. Models have been developed to determine the sensitivity of such detectors to radon exposure. A model, adapted from the Jacobi-Porstendorfer room models, is used to determine the partitioning of short-lived radon progeny between airborne and surface deposited states within the detecting volume. This is used in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation to obtain the radon sensitivity. The use of these models with passive alpha track detectors is highlig

In the present work, an alpha spectroscopic method using CR39 nuclear track detectors is being evaluated, elaborating on track parameters from different alpha particle sources. The freely-available, Java-based ImageJ software was used to obtain the major and minor axis length, the area and the mean gray level of the recorded tracks. A multi-paramater approach based on Principal Component Analysis of the data was subsequently applied and succeeded in grouping the recorded tracks according to alpha-particle energy. The methodology was further applied for the separation of radon progeny on CR39 d

The computer programs TRACK_TEST and TRACK_VISION were previously developed to model profiles and optical appearances of tracks developed in solid-state nuclear track detectors. The programs were based on a track development model that involved the bulk etch rate Vb and the track etch rate Vt or the V function (i.e., Vt/Vb). The present work reported our work to update and modify these two programs. In the revised TRACK_TEST, two new V functions were added and enabled. Sample results for the CR-39 detector obtained using the three original and the two new V functions were compared. Discrepanci

Abstract:
Abstract The most used passive detectors for Radon measurement are the CR39s, both for the good stability of the material and for the practicality of use. But, commercial reading systems are expensive and not always fast. The aim of the present work was the development of a method for a rapid, efficient and economic evaluation of the result of the indoor Radon measurement performed with CR39 detectors. The analysis and acquisition of detector images were performed using a photo scanner and the free ImageJ software. Several groups of CR-39 detectors were exposed, developed and analysed. Calibra

Abstract. It has been suggested that 3 to 5% of total lung cancer deaths in the UK may be associated with elevated radon concentration. Radon gas levels can be assessed using CR-39 plastic detectors which are often assessed by 2-D image analysis of surface images. 3-D analysis has the potential to provide information relating to the angle at which alpha particles impinge on the detector. In this study we used a "LEXT" OLS3100 confocal laser scanning microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) to image tracks on five CR-39 detectors.

Abstract:
Solid-state nuclear track detectors (CR-39 type) are frequently used for the detection of ions accelerated by laser-plasma interaction because they are sensitive to each single particle. To the present day, CR-39 detectors are the main diagnostics in experiments focused on laser-driven proton-boron (p11B) fusion reactions to detect alpha particles, which are the main products of such a nuclear reaction, and to reconstruct their energy distribution. However, the acceleration of multispecies ions in the laser-generated plasma makes this spectroscopic method complex and often does not allow to un

Radiation imaging using solid state nuclear track detectors is an important non destructive technique for estimation of radioactive species like plutonium, thorium etc. In this study, two alpha sources were used for imaging of alpha tracks. From the image analysis of the tracks, different track characteristics were analysed. The frequency distribution of track parameters is Gaussian in nature and is found to be affected by the energy of alphas. It was seen that the maximum of the frequency distribution was located at higher values of track diameter (or area) for the tracks registered with alph

Fission-track dating, one of the more recent techniques involving the use of radioactivity, has developed one of the widest ranges of applications. Dates of objects have been obtained ranging from 6 months to 109 years BP. Volcanic tephra, obsidian, man-made and basaltic glass, meteorites, and mica have been dated. A more apt term is nuclear-track dating because fissionable elements do not have to be present in the material. Fission, which produces one form of nuclear track, is a rare mode of radioactive decay. A more common decay is alpha decay, which produces a different type of track. Urani
