C-ions of different energies are used as energetic heavy ions for track formation in the detectors. The bulk etch rate and
track etch rate are measured for different temperatures and hence the activation energies are determined. The variation ofV =V

with the theoretical range as well as with the range reported earlier. The experimental results indicate the absence of a
well-defined threshold in the plastics studied. |
