The outlook for ultra heavy cosmic ray studies with plastic track detectors - O'Sullivan, D.; Thompson, A.; Domingo, C.; Domingo, V.; Wenzel, K.-P. (Elsevier)
Recent investigations of environmental and ageing effects on the latent signal of highly ionising particles in solid state nuclear track detectors provide improved information on the charge resolution obtainable with solid state nuclear track detectors used in the study of ultra heavy cosmic ray nuclei. The impact of recent findings on the analysis of data from long term experiments in space such as the ultra heavy cosmic ray experiment (UHCRE) on LDEF, the proposed Heavy Nucleus Collector and similar studies which will be made possible during the Space Station era, is assessed.
