Abstract
The effect of radiation damage on track formation in solids is discussed. The annealing behaviour is studied for radiation damage caused by the passage of heavy ions, namely 139La (14.6 MeV/n), 208Pb (17.0 and 13.6 MeV/n) and 238U (15.5 and 5.9 MeV/n), in sodalime glass detectors. The effect of fission fragments on phosphate glass detectors is also discussed. Three different stages of annealing in glass are proposed. A new formulation based on a single activated process for the annealing of heavy ion radiation damage is developed. This relation further supports the concept of a single activation energy of annealing.
