Description
The credit of introducing Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) as a powerful research tool in the early sixties goes to P.B. Price, R.L. Fleischer and R.M. Walker of the General Electric Company of the United States of America. Basically, SSNTDs are dielectric materials or solid insulators such as mica, glass, synthetic plastics, etc. which record and permanently store the trajectory of fast moving charged particles in the form of submicroscopic trails of continuous damage called latent tracks. The present Volume consists of one dozen Papers on Applications of SSNTDs in various fields; Radon Studies covering more than half of this Volume. Keywords: Radiation, Nuclear Track Detector, Neutron Spectrometry, Charged Particles Editor Hardev Singh Virk presents students, academics, researchers, and professionals working in a wide variety of contexts with a collection of invited peer reviewed academic papers and scholarly articles focused on solid-state nuclear track detectors and a wide variety of their applications. The contributions that make up the main body of the text are devoted to neutron spectrometry and dosimetry using CR-39 detectors, radon research in Poland, optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry, heavy ion range measurements in SSNTD materials, and a wide variety of other related subjects. — Materials science— Nuclear engineering— Physics
