Abstract:
The results of test studies of various glasses as heavy ion detectors at high temperatures are presented. The samples of the tested glasses were irradiated with heavy ions on the cyclotron U400 of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna and underwent thermal treatment in a muffle furnace. Glass etching and data analysis were carried out in the Laboratory of Elementary Particles of the LPI. The search and analysis of etched tracks was carried out on an automated measuring complex PAVICOM under an optical microscope. Two out of five tested glasses were selected for further research.
Keywords:glass detectors for registration of heavy ions, testing of glasses with different compositions, annealing at high temperatures, image processing on an automated microscope.
