TRIAC II. A MatLab code for track measurements from SSNT detectors

Abstract
A computer program named TRIAC II written in MATLAB and running with a friendly GUI has been developed for recognition and parameters measurements of particles' tracks from images of Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors. The program, using image analysis tools, counts the number of tracks and depending on the current working mode classifies them according to their radii (Mode I—circular tracks) or their axis (Mode II—elliptical tracks), their mean intensity value (brightness) and their orienta...

Title of program: TRIAC II
Catalogue Id: ADZC_v1_0

Nature of problem
Following the passage of a charged particle (protons and heavier) through a Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD), a damage region is created, usually named latent track. After the chemical etching of the detectors in aqueous NaOH or KOH solutions, latent tracks can be sufficiently enlarged (with diameters of 1 Μm or more) to become visible under an optical microscope. Using the appropriate apparatus, one can record images of the SSNTD s surface. The shapes of the particle's tracks are stro ...
