A solid-state track detector such as CR-39 has the advantage of easy extension of exposure area, but it is necessary to raise the Z/beta detection threshold in order to suppress background tracks produced by galactic cosmic rays with Z/beta<30. The track registration sensitivity and detection threshold for heavy ions with various Z*/beta were verified by using track detectors of copolymers of CR-39 and DAP (diallyl phthalate) with various DAP concentration. We found that it is possible to control the Z*/beta detection threshold of copolymers by changing DAP concentration. In order to detect heavy ions with Z*/beta > 30, the optimum DAP concentration was found to be approximately 50%.}, pages = {S52--S55}, title = {Track detector of CR-39-DAP-copolymer with variable threshold to detect trans-iron nuclei in galactic cosmic rays}, volume = {43}, year = {2008} }
