Astroparticle physics with nuclear track detectors
… particles -Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles, Nuclearites and Q-balls with the SLIM experiment at the Chacaltaya High Altitude Laboratory (5230 m, Bolivia), establishing upper limits (90% CL) in the absence of candidates, which are among the best if not the only one for all three kind of …

Fluence-based Dosimetry using Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detectors
… suitable for in vivo applications. Fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTDs) are small and biocompatible aluminum oxide plates. Their superior spatial resolution allows for track-by-track characterization of heavy charged particle fields at clinically relevant fluences. Thus, their …

Investigation of non-normal incidence charged-particle response of CR39 nuclear track detectors, with applications in nuclear diagnostics for inertial confinement fusion
CR39 is a plastic nuclear track detector used at inertial confinement fusion (ICF) facilities to characterize the energy spectra of fusion products. This thesis presents data collected at MIT's Linear Electrostatic Ion Accelerator (LEIA) to measure CR39's detection efficiency for protons at …

Imaging the burn region of laser driven implosions on OMEGA using the proton core imaging spectroscope
The first measurements of the nuclear burn region of OMEGA implosions have been made with the Proton Core Imaging Spectroscope (PCIS). Using CR-39 nuclear track detectors, PCIS applies the technique of penumbral imaging to measure the radial profile of D-D and D-3He protons produced by implosions …

Development of techniques for high-resolution spatially-resolved elemental analysis in materials of interest in luminescence dating
… autoradiographic techniques using solid state nuclear track detectors (CR-39) were applied initially to map localised differences in surface alpha activity, and were subsequently developed to provide semi-quantitative data about the concentration of alpha emitters present, and by association, …

The Study of Pion Absorption on -4He at 355 MeV/C with LADS (Large Acceptance Detector System)
<p>The medium and long range part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction can be described within the framework of pion exchange. In order to understand this fundamental interaction, it is therefore important to study the interaction of pions with nucleons and nuclei, which can either be elastic or …
