Abstract
Chemical damage created by a-particles in cellulose nitrate (LR115) have be en studied by infrared spectroscopy. This technique enables identifying the sensitive bonds and giving an order of magnitude of their scission cross s ections for given a-particle energies. The high cross sections observed sug gest a new description of the track etch velocity in this material.
