Abstract
A new type of track counting method for particle identification was de veloped by using an Imaging Plate (IP). The distributions of the photo -stimulated luminescence (PSL) per track were measured after irradiati on with Co-60 gamma rays, U-238 alpha particles, protons up to 12 MeV, carbon ions up to 290 MeV/u and neon ions up to 400 MeV/u. It was fou nd that the PSL per track increases with energy loss per unit distance corresponding to linear energy transfer (LET). (C) 1998 Elsevier Scie nce B.V. All rights reserved.
