Pershore made CR-39(DOP) as a 1.015 GeV/n197Au-ion detector

TLDR
In this article, the top of the irradiated plate of the stack has been etched in 6.25N NaOH solution at 70°C for one hour and about 1202 cone lengths were optically measured.
Abstract
Pershore made CR-39(DOP) stack was exposed at a zenith angle of 30° by 197Au-ions of energy 1.015 GeV/n using LBL BEVALAC beam. The top of the irradiated plate of the stack has been etched in 6.25N NaOH solution at 70°C for one hour. About 1202 cone lengths were optically measured. The estimated etch rate ratio of the incident 197Au projectile beam in CR-39 has been found to be 27 ± 2. The result has been compared with earlier observations. The charge resolution of the detector has been estimated from the average of double cone lengths and has been found to have a value of (0.58 ± 0.03)e for 197Au-ions.
