Abstract:
Characteristics of tracks created by heavy ions in bubble detectors have been studied in detail by using four types of super long (23 cm), self-made bubble detectors and six species of high energy heavy ions: 12C, 28Si, 40Ar, 56Fe, 84Kr and 132Xe. The following characteristics of heavy ion tracks in bubble detectors have been recognized:
