[24th ICNTS @ Bologna (Italy) 04/09/2008] Control of the detection threshold of CR-39 track detector for the measurement of ultra heavy nuclei in galactic cosmic rays S. Kodaira1, N. Yasuda1, N.

Goal of Cosmic Ray Research ☆ Origin: Where and How are galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) accelerated ? Are the Young or Old? ☆ Acceleration: Is the temperature at the acceleration site Hot or Cold ? ☆ Propagation: How do GCRs propagate in the Galaxy ?  

Scientific Objectives Precise observation of ultra-heavy nuclei (Z>30) in galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) Origin: Primary compositions of elements and isotopes in GCRs. The freshly-synthesized material of R-process is enhanced in GCRs ?                   Injection mechanism: FIP or Volatility ? Life-time of GCRs: Mean-life time, Delay time between nucleosynthesis and acceleration Search for the nearby source History of Galactic materials Study of nucleosynthesis process and its site Search for trans-Uranium nuclei predicted theoretically

Need SSTD with high threshold Flux of Z<30 nuclei >> Flux of trans-iron nuclei Using high sensitive SSTD such CR-39 Z<30 nuclei are background tracks    for the observation of ultra heavy nuclei Fe Ultra heavy nuclei HEAO-3-C3 Binns et al., (1989)

Objectives PEW-x solution (15wt%KOH+xwt%C2H5OH+ (85-x)wt%H2O) has a possibility to: - Make to desensitive the track registration sensitivity of CR-39 track detector - Improve charge resolution because of shrinking tracks of rather lighter nuclei - Improve surface condition after the etching Somogyi & Hunyadi, (1979) Ogura et al., (2001) Optimization of PEW-X etching condition using high purity CR-39 (BARYOTRAK) Verification of the performance of CR-39 (BARYOTRAK) by PEW-x solution

Beam exposure & Etching condition -- Exposed heavy ion @ HIMAC--- Ion Fe, Kr, Xe Energy < 500 MeV/n (36 ≤ Z*/b ≤115) --- Etching condition --- Solution 1) PEW-x; x=35, 50, 65wt% for ethanol 2) 7N NaOH Temp. 1) 50C, 2) 70C Time 1~240 min

Variation of response curve for PEW-x concentration 70C Temp. PEW-50 (50wt% for ethanol) is adequate to detect heavy ion

Characteristics of bulk etch rate for PEW-50 Our normal etching condition:  7N NaOH 70C: Vb=2.1mm/hr Vb is ~22 times @ PEW-50 70C ~7 times @ PEW-50 50C min!

Response curve by PEW-50 etching

Surface condition after the PEW etching PEW-50 70C PEW-50 50C B=95.3mm B=33.2mm B=22.0mm B=84.0mm B=39.0mm B=33.2mm Etching longer than roughly B=30mm makes extremely unclear edge of etch-pit

Charge resolution for Kr ion PEW-50 70C PEW-50 50C Poor charge resolution is caused from “unclear edge“ of etch pit ?

Additional etching by 7N NaOH solution 7N NaOH 70C (8hr) etching after the post-etching of PEW-50 Only PEW-50 70C Recover very clear edge of etch pit by additional 7N NaOH etching ! PEW-50 70C+7N NaOH 70C

Drastic improvement of charge resolution PEW-50 70C + 7N NaOH addition sZ=0.30cu@Kr sZ=0.21cu@Kr Preliminary

PEW+NaOH hybrid etching is very useful technique for: Summary Verified the performance in CR-39 (BARYOTRAK) detector etched by PEW-x solution: ① Response curve - Suppress effectively light ion track and therefore inclination of response curve becomes steep - Variable response curve by changing ethanol concentration (xwt%) - Optimum ethanol concentration should be x=50wt% - Optimum temperature should be 70C - Threshold of Z/b~40 in case of PEW-50 70C ② Charge resolution - Drastic improvement of shape of etch pit and charge resolution by additional 7N NaOH - Charge resolution for Kr: 0.2cu (only single layer) PEW+NaOH hybrid etching is very useful technique for: - Observation of ultra heavy nuclei in galactic osmic rays - Measurement of nuclear interaction (charge changing cross section) of ultra heavy ion
