Correct identification of energetic alpha and proton tracks in experiments on Cr-39 charged particle detection during hydrogen desorption from Pd/PdO:H2 heterostructure
Results of correct identification of energetic alpha and proton tracks, observed after hydrogen desorption from Pd/PdO:H-x samples, are presented. Using CR-39 plastic track detector we unambiguously identified tracks of as minimum two groups of alpha particles with energies 10-13 and 15-17.5 MeV. It was also confirmed the emission of protons with energies similar to 1.7-1.9 MeV.
