In this work, the empirical parameterization describing the alpha particles’ track depth in CR-39 detectors is extended to describe longitudinal track profiles against etching time for protons and alpha
particles. MATLAB based software is developed for this purpose. The software calculates and plots the
depth, diameter, range, residual range, saturation time, and etch rate versus etching time. The software
predictions are compared with other experimental data and with results of calculations using the original
software, TRACK_TEST, developed for alpha track calculations. The software related to this work is freely
downloadable and performs calculations for protons in addition to alpha particles.
