Abstract
The ray tracing method was applied to study etched tracks from α-particles in CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors. The transmission mode of a microscope operation was simulated. A track was considered as a set of small triangular elements, and the brightness of all elements was calculated systematically through the entire track to create the final image. Preliminary results are given for α-particle tracks in the CR-39 detector for initial energies of 4 and 4.5 MeV, and incident angles of 40 and 90°, respectively. Total reflection, as well as the slope of a surface element in the track wall, were identified as the main factors that affect the brightness of that element. At this stage, comparisons with experimental results can be made in terms of the average grey levels for the entire tracks. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
