The heavy ions from C to Fe ions were detected as fluorescent nuclear tracks under a confocal microscope. The detection linear energy transfer (LET) threshold was estimated to be 5 keV/μm in water. The fading effect was observed in which the fluorescent intensity decreases with repeated laser scans. The Ag+-glass has good potential applicability as the FNTD for the high LET range (5– 200 keV/μm) in radioimmunotherapy and space radiation dosimetry uses.}, title = {Characteristics of fluorescent nuclear track detection with Ag+-activated phosphate glass}, volume = {132}, year = {2020} }
