Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project intended to establish the basic technologies for Digital Archives of past, present and future Nuclear Emulsion experiments. 1) Established the method to match the emulsion thickness to the automated nuclear emulsion read-out system by swelling the emulsion layer. 2) Confirmed the validity of the utilized data formula and the track reconstruction tools. By this study, we have succeedingly started the emulsion digital archives project. We will continue the project and extend to the experiments in which valuable data are still hidden.
