Abstract
Experiments on calibrating the CR-39 track detector applied for heavy hydro gen isotopes (D and T) registering are described. Two samples of the detect or were tested, one manufactured in the UK, and another in the USA. Calibra tion was performed for energies up to 10 MeV. Track diameter dependence on the etching time and particle energy is presented. Energy resolution of bot h detectors has been estimated. Etch rate ratio dependence on the particle energy loss has been calculated.
