An automatic device for counting a large number of tracks in CR39

In order to perform an indoor survey of internal exposure to radon and its short life daughters using track etching passive detectors, it is necessary to analyze a large amount of information without spending a lot of time and manual work. For this purpose, the possibility of utilizing PEPR (Precisi...

Description
Summary:In order to perform an indoor survey of internal exposure to radon and its short life daughters using track etching passive detectors, it is necessary to analyze a large amount of information without spending a lot of time and manual work. For this purpose, the possibility of utilizing PEPR (Precision Encoding and Pattern Recognition) normally used in the digitization of low energy particle tracks recorded on Bubble Chamber film has been studied. A special subroutine has been set up for a PDP 11/45 Computer to guide PEPR in studying the tracks of α-particles in CR39.
