Scientific paper

Results are reported from a study of the relative sensitivities of various phosphate glasses to relativistic U, Au and La ions. The trials were performed to identify efficient particle identification materials for use in nuclear physics and cosmic ray astrophysics studies. A Cf-252 source was used to irradiate 30 different phosphate glasses with fission fragments. The irradiated samples were washed with one of several etchants in attempts to produce etch-pits visible to optical microscopy. Techniques are described which were discovered to lower the sensitivity of the glasses. Etchant-glass combinations which displayed the highest sensitivities are listed, and applications to which they are best suited are explored.
