Abstract
Fission track densities in glass and in Lexan polycarbonate resin have been measured using light scattered from the tracks as a measure of the track density. Scattered light was found to be proportional to track density up to the point at which tracks begin to overlap. For the two track detector materials tested, a scattering angle was found at which optimum signal‐to‐backgound ratios are obtained.Keywords
