A survey of recent results obtained using the nuclear track emulsion (NTE) technique in low energy
applications is given. NTE irradiation with
MeV
nuclei
provides identification of their decays at stopping,
evaluation of the possibility of
range spectrometry, and observation of drift of thermalized
atoms.
Correlations of
particles studied in
splitting induced by
MeV neutrons indicate the presence
of a superposition of
and
states of the
nucleus in the ground state of
. Angular correlations of
fragments are studied in boron-enriched NTE, and the prospects of NTE application in radioactivity and
nuclear fission research are discussed. It is proposed to use an automated microscope to search for collinear
tripartition of heavy nuclei implanted in NTE. Surface irradiation of NTE by a
source is started. Planar
events containing fragment pairs and long range
particles, as well as fragment triples, are studied. NTE
samples are calibrated using
and
ions with an energy
of
and
A MeV.
