Abstract
Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) have been used for corpuscular diagnostic in numerous high-temperature plasma experiments. This paper presents different applications of the detectors mentioned above, particularly in nuclear fusion investigations. Some new projects and proposals of the use of such detectors in large-scale plasma experiments, e.g. tokamaks, and laser-fusion facilities are demonstrated. To use the SSNTDs in the optimal way and to determine their detection characteristics, detailed calibration studies of the selected plastic detectors (CR-39, PM-355, PM-500, PM-600) have been performed at IPJ for several years. To carry out calibration measurements of these detectors, ion beams from different accelerators were applied. The paper presents detection characteristics, i.e. track dimensions as a function of ion energy, atomic number and etching time.
