Abstract
An algorithm for determining the thickness of the olivine layer cut when determining charges of galactic nuclei from meteorites is presented. The calculation results related to the intersection points of nuclei trajectory projections on the crystal surface at different stages are presented. It is shown that the mechanism is valid to control cut operations when searching for traces of galactic nuclei in olivines from meteorites with good accuracy.
