Abstract
When some irradiated polymer detectors are analysed at submicroscopic level, four zones can be distinguished in the damaged region surrounding the ion trajectory: core, halo, cross-linking and bulk. The folding track replica technique has been used in previous works to study track profile characteristics. In the present work, starting from track profiles, a method is suggested to evaluate the shape and size of the different track zones. It is applied to 49.5Â MeV 19F and 2Â MeV 16O ion tracks in Makrofol E.
