Calibration of Photographic and Spectroscopic Films: The Response of 2AO Film to Small Dosages of alpha Particles from 3/10TH's Rad to 8 Rads at Energy Levels 153 Mev, 79 Mev and 47 Mev. Semiannual Report, January 1983-March 1984

摘要

The 2aO film, pre-exposed to a series of neutral density filters which on development under standard conditions will produce the standard H-D curve for that film, were then exposed to Alpha paricles with a dose range of 3/10ths rads to 8 rads while varying the energy of the particles using 153 MeV, 70 MeV, and 47 MeV, respectively. An analysis of the film shows that the 3/10th rad dose produces the lowest optical density changes at 70 MeV and 47 MeV. While the optical density readings for the darker patterns seem to oscillate and decrease when exposed to radiation dosages of 3/10th rads to 8 rads.
