In order to identify the space heavy ions hitting loaded-seeds
the solid-state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) CR-39 was used as a part of a “sandwich” detecting system. By means of measurements of ion range R and etched rate V of CR-39
a slope (dR/dV-1) was acquired. Based on a mathematical model R* = 0.015AZ3.13V-1 estab- lished by ourselves
the coefficients of the model were fitted by using data from the calibration experiments of known ions. The calibration experiments of CR-39 for C
Ne
Si
Ar and Fe ions were carried out at HIRFL-IMP in China
and HIMAC-NIRS in Japan. A fitted formula identifying ions Z3.13=3.75×104 +1.50(dR/dV-1) and a calibration line were obtained.
