A Novel Approach of Progress Study of Track Annealing In Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors : Fundamentals of Track Annealing Re-examined

Abstract

Impact of temperature on track registration in Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors has remained a key area of research and interest since the advent of insulting solids as charged particle detectors. Phenomenon of track annealing has throughout occupied a centre stage in all SSNTD research. In the present work, an approach has been developed to express track diameter after post irradiation annealing in terms of pre-annealed track diameter which also makes possible to identify and use an exclusive parameter that can most accurately describe annealing induced repair of damage quantitatively,also it evolves a new approach to study the progress/kinetics of annealing phenomenon.
