Abstract

A technique has been developed to accurately measure angles of nuclear tracks in CR-39 stack. The standard deviations of the measurements are ⩽0.028° for zenith angle measurements and about 2.8° for azimuth angle measurements. This method can also provide a direct and precise charge measurement, whose charge resolution is ⩽ 0.5e / √n for relativistic nuclei of 12⩽Z⩽50, where n is the number of track cones measured along the trajectory of a nucleus. This technique has been used to study the relativistic projectile fission of 1 GeV/amu Au. This paper describes the technique and some results of the study of relativistic Au projectile fission.
