Abstract
Range of heavy ion is one of the important parameters and understanding of this parameter is highly essential in almost all those experiments where heavy ions are used. The present review deals with the range measurements of different heavy ions through solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) technique. The importance of SSNTD technique as compared to other techniques is highlighted and different methods/models proposed for range measurements are described. An attempt has been made to compile the measured range values for heavy ions from H4to U238in different classes of SSNTD materials viz. polymers, glasses and minerals, from the available literature. An inter-comparison between the measured range values of different laboratories and through different range measurement methods has been made. Further, the reliability and validity of most commonly used theoretical and semi-empirical/empirical range formulations, through comparison with the measured range, are highlighted. Furthermore, the isotropic and anisotropic behaviour in polymers and minerals through range measurements has been described.Contents of Paper
