Abstract:
Chemical etching characteristics of mica, Lexan and cellulose acetate have been studied for fission fragment tracks. Under suitable etching conditions a few critical etching parameters for these three track detectors have been determined. An empirical relationship between complete etching time and the etching temperature has been established.
