Abstract
Track-etched detectors are commonly used also for radiation monitoring onboard International Space Station. To be registered in track-etched detectors, the particle needs to meet several criteria-it must have linear energy transfer above the detection threshold and strike the detector's surface under an angle higher than the so-called critical angle. Linear energy transfer is then estimated from calibration curve from the etch rate ratio V that is calculated from parameters of individual tracks appearing on the detector's surface after chemical etching. It has been observed that V can depend on the incident angle and this dependence can vary for different detector materials, etching and evaluating conditions. To investigate angular dependence, detectors (Harzlas TD-1) were irradiated at HIMAC by several ions under angles from 0° to 90°. The correction accounting not only for critical angle but also for dependence of V on the incident angle is introduced and applied to spectra measured onboard International Space Station.

Abstract
Alpha particles generated by 7Li(p,α)4He and 19F(p,α)16O reactions are selectively detected in the presence of abundant primary protons by reducing the proton sensitivity of CR-39 using a potassium hydroxide-ethanol-water (PEW) etching solution. These nuclear reactions are induced in a LiF crystal using the laser-accelerated protons (4 × 1011 protons/pulse with a maximum energy of 3.3 MeV) generated and accelerated by the interaction of a 40-fs laser pulse with a polyethylene thin film target at a peak intensity of 5 × 1019 W/cm2. Subsequent etching of the CR-39 in the PEW solution (KOH: 17 wt. %; C2H5OH: 25 wt. %; H2O: 58 wt. %) permits the selective detection of 4.0 MeV alpha particles, which is independently confirmed by an experiment using alpha particles from an 241Am source. The described method is expected to be useful for research into nuclear reactions in laser plasma.
