Abstract: | Muscovite mica detectors were irradiated with the ions: 19F of 47.5 MeV, 24Mg of 57 MeV, 28Si of 28 and 74 MeV, 32S of 32 and 74 MeV, 63Cu of 78.75 MeV and with neutron induced uranium fission fragments. Using optical microscopy, after an appropriate chemical etching, two characteristic etched track structure patterns were observed: a rhombic pyramid terrace structure for the Mg, Si and S ions, and a rhombic prism structure for the Cu ions and fission fragments. The use of these etched track patterns to discriminate two groups of ions between them, for the energy range covered in this work, is proposed. |
