| Abstract: | The relative response of emulsion (Ilford Q2) and evaporated AgBr (Ionomet) plates to a polyatomic (C9H20 +) and a monoatomic (129Xe+) ion has been studied as a function of ion energy. Data from the former are readily interpreted qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. Previously reported fragmentation numbers of impacting ions are corrected. Evidence is suggested to relate fragmentation number to a thermodynamic quantity. |
