Abstract

The variations in the threshold registration of a number of plastic dielectric nuclear track detectors, DNTD's, have been investigated in terms of range energy relationships and the changes in structure affecting electron density distributions studied, using small angle X-ray diffraction. A similar mechanism has been employed to investigate the presence and formation of microcrystallite nucleation sites in lunar and terrestrial minerals, following proton and charged particle bombardments of 10-18 particles/cm2.
