Resolution and Sensibility Increase in CR-39 Plastic Cosmic Ray Detector. (1987). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 14(1), 776. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1987rmxaa..14..776l

Abstract

The best resolution and sensitivity thus far achieved in a solid-state nuclear track detector for the registering of cosmic rays have been obtained with a polymer of dietylene glycol bis allyl carbonate. It has been empirically determined that the resolution and sensitivity of these detectors are modified when the material is doped with such additives as dioctyl phthalate. These effects are presently discussed with a view to further enhancements of resolution and sensitivity.
