Description

Abstract In this work, the empirical parameterization describing the alpha particles’ track depth in CR-39 detectors is extended to describe longitudinal track profiles against etching time for protons and alpha particles. MATLAB based software is developed for this purpose. The software calculates and plots the depth, diameter, range, residual range, saturation time, and etch rate versus etching time. The software predictions are compared with other experimental data and with results of calculations ... Title of program: CR39 Catalogue Id: AENA_v1_0 Nature of problem A new semispherical parameterization of charged particle tracks in CR-39 SSNTD is carried out in a previous paper. This parameterization is developed here into a MATLAB based software to calculate the track length and track profile for any proton or alpha particle energy or etching time. This software is intended to compete with the TRACK_TEST [1] and TRACK_VISION [2] software currently in use by all people working in the field of SSNTD. Versions of this program held in the CPC repository in Mendeley Data AENA_v1_0; CR39; 10.1016/j.cpc.2012.06.011 This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)
