Abstract

Photographic Nuclear Emulsion Detector (PNED) has been in use in nuclear and particle physics experiments from the begining, often as the major detector system. However, direct measurement of impact parameter in this detector does not seem possible due to some limitations. This paper discribe a simple yet strong method to estimate the impact parameter of events on event-by-event basis. Though this method is develpoed specifically for the photographic nuclear emulsion detector, we envision that it should also be applicable to other multi-target detector systems.
