Exposure of Nuclear Track Emulsion to He-8 Nuclei at the ACCULINNA Separator
arXiv:1309.4808 · doi:10.1134/S1547477113050026
Abstract
Nuclear track emulsion is exposed to a beam of radioactive $^8$He nuclei with an energy of 60 MeV and enrichment of about 80% at the ACCULINNA separator. Measurements of 278 decays of the $^8$He nuclei stopped in the emulsion allow the potential of the $α$ spectrometry to be estimated and the thermal drift of $^8$He atoms in matter to be observed for the first time.
