title: Use of track detectors in biomedical sciences.
abstract: The CR-39 track detectors have been applied to irradiate the Chinese hamster V79-753B cells for survival studies. The survival curves have given satisfactory results. Energies of the incoming as well as outgoing proton beams evaluated from the track diameters are found to be close to the values found separately by surface barrier detector (SSBD).
