Abstract: | The investigation of localisation is counted among the typical and important applications of nuclear track recorders. In this paper, after a comparison of the most important features of nuclear track recorders a system of their applications is given. On the grounds of information obtained from the tracks, eight groups of applications can be distinguished. One of them represents the four geometrical situations of the different types of radiography. Taking radiography into account in the wider sense, as an investigation of localisation, then several cases of special localization tasks are known, which can be classified into two further groups of applications of track detectors. A survey of the applications of solid slate nuclear track detectors for all kinds of radiography is given on the basis of this definition of localisation experiments. |
