Abstract :
A new modified automatic scanning method for the nuclear emulsion analysis is developed. This is a totally new system capable of analyzing nuclear emulsion by using high frame rate grabber, FPGA, low pass filter and parallel pipe line processing. In order to achieve the better resolution and to shorten, signal cost this method was applied in which we added CMOS camera with our available CCD camera . This system has advantages to detect short living particles, like cosmic rays, pions etc., as well as neutrinos can be detected with good resolution and speed. We expect by installing this system in our laboratory, will stimulate the revival of nuclear emulsion particle track detectors, which will be a good achievement of particle detection techniques.
