Abstract

An optical method is presented for alpha spectroscopy by measuring the optical density of etched CR-39 samples irradiated with different alpha particle energies. The relation between the optical density per track, alpha energy and etching conditions were studied using a simple experimental setup. An empirical formula to calculate the stopping power of alpha particles in a CR-39 detector is proposed in this study.
