The slight nonlinearity in temporal development of tracks diameter in CR-39 nuclear track detectors is
examined with the aim of attempting to find if such nonlinearity can be directly related to the charged
particle energy. Narrowly spaced etching time-diameter experimental data for alpha particles at five
energy values and for one additional energy value etched at five different temperatures are obtained.
Initial results show good indication that measuring such time-diameter relationship can form a useful
energy estimation tool. Good consistency with other independent published results is obtained.
