Abstract

Using beams of relativistic Au and U ions, we have found that the sensitivity (reduced track etch rate) of CR-39, Rodyne polycarbonate, and Cronar polyester track detectors depends on the length of time for which the sample is exposed to oxygen before irradiation and to the partial pressure of oxygen before and during irradiation. In contrast, the sensitivity of VG-13 phosphate glass detectors is independent of the presence or absence of oxygen before or during irradiation.
