Theoretical Alpha Star Populations in Loaded Nuclear Emulsions (open access)

Theoretical Alpha Star Populations in Loaded Nuclear Emulsions

Abstract: "Calculations have been made of alpha star populations in loaded nuclear emulsions. Equations are presented for calculation of star types for each significant emitter in the three naturally radioactive series. The application of five-branched star populations as a method of quantitative analysis for microgram amounts of thorium is proposed."
