Abstract

To identify the charge of detected cosmic ray nuclei, it is necessary that the dynamic and geometric parameters of tracks (the etching rate of a nuclear track, as well as the length and the diameter of the track channel) be determined with a high accuracy. Results of the experimental investigations of tracks produced in olivine crystals from the Marjalahti pallasite by accelerated Xe and U nuclei are presented. These investigations were performed as part of the Olimpiya project. It is shown that the etching rate and the fully etched track length are independent of the track orientation relative to the crystallographic symmetry axes of each olivine crystal under investigation.
