 are known to reveal details about the impinging radiation such as energy, intensity etc. Analysis of irradiated SSNTDs has been attempted to study the effect of homogeneity of the alpha source used for irradiation. Comparative analyses of CN85 and CR39 detectors were carried out after irradiation with plutonium alphas. Image analysis and UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used for analysis.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/905.jpg)

Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) are known to reveal details about the impinging radiation such as energy, intensity etc. Analysis of irradiated SSNTDs has been attempted to study the effect of homogeneity of the alpha source used for irradiation. Comparative analyses of CN85 and CR39 detectors were carried out after irradiation with plutonium alphas. Image analysis and UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used for analysis.
