Study of Etching Features of Quartz Glass Irradiated with Xenon Ions

The first results of testing KU-2 optical quartz glass as a detector of accelerated heavy ions are presented. The results of etching the irradiated glasses in hydrofluoric acid indicate a possibility of their use for detecting superheavy nuclei and their decay products.
