Experimental investigation of CN-85 polymer track length under alpha particles effect.

The work involves the utilizing of solid-state nuclear track detector CN-85, to study the irradiated impact through incident alpha particles at different angles (80°, 90°), and irradiation time (5) min, after etching with 2.5N of NaOH solution at 60°±1 C, for different etching time between (0.5-4) hr. The results showed that both D and L for CN-85 exhibited an enhancement when exposed to Alpha particles, the alpha-particle track diameters and Length increased with Etching time but it decreased with the increased Energy of alpha particles. The experiment results also show that the D and L were affected due to the exposure to alpha particles and incident angles. This study is the first-time investigation CN-85 Nuclear track detector experimentally under the impact of alpha particles and suitable polymer for the detection alpha particles.
