Abstract
In track detectors as CR39 and other polycarbonate compounds the path of an ionizing particle is revealed by the chemical etching of the damaged trail, by conical pitches which depend on the properties, etching time and conditions of the solution and on travelling ion characteristics. Many experimental studied have been done on calibrations, to correlate the track patterns to the charge and energy of ions. However no much has been done to discriminate effectively the species and, when possible, the energy of ions. In this contribution we investigate the possibility to solve the problem of discrimination by using the correlations between diameter and depth of conical pitch of the tracks and by an accurate control of etching time depending on charge and energy of ions.
