Abstract

The search for and identification of energetic nuclei of superheavy elements of cosmic rays in olivine crystals frommeteorites, currently performedwithin the Olympia project [1], are based on measurements of dynamic and geometrical parameters of tracks, i.e., chemically etchable regions of the traces of slowing down of these nuclei before their stop, using the fully automated PAVIKOM measuring system [2].
