Effects of the Passage of Ionizing Particles Through a Liquid Crystal

Beams of ionizing particles may be detected by means of the temperature change induced in a cholesteric liquid crystal. Our estimates indicate also that it may be possible to detect an individual heavy ion with a charge perhaps as low as 6 at all speeds and a singly-charged particle near the end of...

Zusammenfassung:	Beams of ionizing particles may be detected by means of the temperature change induced in a cholesteric liquid crystal. Our estimates indicate also that it may be possible to detect an individual heavy ion with a charge perhaps as low as 6 at all speeds and a singly-charged particle near the end of its range.
