| Unless
otherwise noted, the following procedures are used in these investigations:
|
CR-39
is exposed to 5.5 MeV alpha particles from an Americium 241
source
|
Particles
are not collimated, resulting in varying angles of incidence
|
Standard etches are used: 6M NaOH at 80°C, 6 hours making
a complete etch
|
Samples
are plated with gold-palladium prior to imaging
