Xe-ions of different energies are measured for different etching times after etching the detector in a ‘new etchant’ free
of the adverse effect of the etch product layer. The dependence of track diameter on the energy and on the energy loss, dE/dx of

Xe-ion in soda glass has been presented. The energy resolution of soda glass and the critical angle for etching of fission
fragment tracks in glass detectors have also been determined. The maximum etched track length of

Xe-ion in soda glass has been compared with the theoretical range. The effects of different annealing conditions on bulk etch

Xe-ion tracks have been presented. Experimental results show that there is a decrease in track etch rate, etching efficiency
