Abstract

ageing calibration CR39 track-etch detector heavy ions MACRO experiment magnetic monopoles threshold
We discuss the preparation of different samples of the CR39 polymer and a number of tests performed with high energy heavy ions. The quality and reproducibility of the manufactured CR39 is discussed as well as the implications for a large area detector (MACRO) used for a search for cosmic magnetic monopoles.
