Performance of a nuclear emulsion scanner

A machine has been constructed which meets many of the needs for scanning of nuclear emulsions as emulsions are used in charged particle nuclear spectroscopy. Methods developed for track detection are reviewed briefly. In more detail an account is given of the performance of the machine in scanning plates exposed at the Michigan 42" cyclotron over a seven months period. Finally, some special techniques which may have other applications are described.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/32444/1/0000526.pd
