Heavily ionizing particles create trails of damage as they move through materials. In both addition and condensation polymers these trails can be selectively dissolved so that the sites and the directions taken by the moving particles are revealed. These materials thus serve as simple detectors of heavily charged particles.
重离子在穿透物质时会形成损伤轨迹。在加聚物和缩聚物中,这些轨迹可以被选择性地溶解,从而揭示出移动粒子的位置和运动方向。因此,这些材料可以作为重带电粒子的简单探测器。
