/ Abstract

Nuclear track emulsion is exposed to a beam of radioactive 8He nuclei with an energy of 60 MeV and enrichment of about 80% at the ACCULINNA separator. Measurements of 278 decays of the 8He nuclei stopped in the emulsion allow the potential of the α spectrometry to be estimated and the thermal drift of 8He atoms in matter to be observed for the first time.
