Abstract
A simple procedure for observing alpha particle tracks in cellulose nitrate is described with emphasis on qualitative understanding of the underlying principles. The technique is shown to be feasible for use in the undergraduate nuclear laboratory as well as offering a variety of possibilities for independent student investigations at very low cost. The results of a Rutherford scattering experiment are included as an example of the type of measurements for which this detector can be used.
