We have investigated a commercially available polymer for its suitability as a solid state
nuclear track detector (SSNTD). We identified that polymer to be polyethylene terephthalate …

A commercially available grade of polymer was investigated for its suitability as a solid state
nuclear track detector (SSNTD) to look for rare events in cosmic rays at very high mountain …

A particular brand of common polymer film has been found to have a high detection
threshold value of Z/β, when used as a solid state nuclear track detector to detect energetic …

Various phenomenological models presented over the years have hinted at the possible
presence of strangelets, which are nuggets of Strange Quark Matter (SQM), in cosmic rays …

In the present work we describe the results of studies, using accelerator data, to determine
the accuracy with which particles can be identified and their energies determined with a …

We exposed a stack of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) detectors each of thickness 100μm
with an area of 21cm× 30cm along with a separate stack of the standard solid state nuclear …

Existence of strangelets in cosmic rays has been predicted even at mountain altitudes∼ 3–4
km with extremely low abundance. We exposed an appropriate passive detector to cosmic …

Research in physical, chemical and biological sciences at Bose Institute has a long and
proud history. The seminal work of its illustrious founder, Acharya Jagadis Chandra Bose, in …

Search for exotic particles (eg strangelets) in cosmic rays is an active field of research. An
ideal choice of detectors to look for rare events in cosmic rays at very high mountain …

A particular brand of polymer, commonly used as overhead projector transparencies, has
been used as a solid state nuclear track detector with Z/β> 35. From the infra-red …
