This 1990 volume is the only comprehensive Russian-language monograph dedicated to Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs). Published by Energoatomizdat just as the field reached technological maturity, this translation of the seminal work by S. A. Durrani and R. K. Bull serves as an essential bridge between nuclear physics and solid-state materials science. It remains the definitive reference for researchers working with dielectric track detectors.
The book systematically details the physical principles of track formation in insulating solids—such as plastics, mica, and glass—when struck by heavy charged particles. The authors provide an in-depth exploration of the "latent track" and the chemical and electro-chemical etching processes required to make these submicroscopic damages visible under a microscope. The text covers particle identification techniques, the spectrometry of fission fragments, and the unique role of SSNTDs in detecting cosmic rays and radon gas.
A significant portion of the monograph is devoted to practical applications, ranging from nuclear geochronology and archeological dating to neutron dosimetry and space research. Because of its meticulous technical detail and its status as the singular Russian text on the subject, this book is a primary tool for specialists in radiation physics. With a modest print run of only 1,600 copies, it is a significant find for scientific libraries and collectors of nuclear technology literature.
