A particle detection chain based on CMOS-SOI VCO circuit is presented. The solution is used for the recognition and the tracking of a given particle at circuit level. TCAD simulation of the detector has been performed on a 3×3 matrix of diodes based detector for particles recognition and tracking. The current response of the detector has been used for a case study in order to determine the ability of the chain to recognize an alpha particle crossing a 3×3 detection cell. The detection limit of the proposed solution is investigated and discussed in this paper.

It is generally agreed that the long-range alpha particles of fission are set free before the fragment nuclei have acquired more than a small fraction of their final energy of separation, but whether the alpha particle is liberated before the instant of scission, at that instant, or from one of the fragment nuclei very shortly thereafter, has remained an open question. Each of these views has been seriously advocated. These various hypotheses are examined in relation to recently published information regarding the distribution of mass in low-eneigy ternary fission, and other considerations, and it is suggested that the hypothesis having the strongest claim to attention is that which assumes that the alpha particles originate in the heavy fragments exclusively, being liberated, very shortly after the instant of scission, with probability not much less than unity, from fragment nuclei of low yield and small neutron excess. Conclusions which would follow, if this hypothesis were accepted, are indicated, and possible experimental tests of these conclusions are suggested.
