The characteristics of heavy ion tracks in phosphate glasses after irradiation under various temperature conditions are presented. Calibration experiments are performed to obtain the dependence of the parameters of the etched tracks on the sample heating temperature and time and on the moment of heating a sample in relation to irradiation and etching. To effectively identify the ion charges, the stability of reproducing the optimum chemical etching conditions (etching chemical solution composition, concentration, etching time) is strictly observed in processing irradiated glasses. The results obtained allow us to conclude that phosphate glasses can be effectively used to detect and identify the superheavy nuclei synthesized at the Factory of Superheavy Elements of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).
