Confined fission-track revelation in apatite: how it works and why it matters [PDF]
We present a new model for the etching and revelation of confined fission tracks in apatite based on variable along-track etching velocity, vT(x). Insights from step-etching experiments and theoretical energy loss rates of fission fragments suggest two ...

Deconvolution of fission-track length distributions and its application to dating and separating pre- and post-depositional components [PDF]
To enable the separation of pre- and postdepositional components of the length distribution of (partially annealed) horizontal confined fission tracks, the length distribution is corrected by deconvolution.

Toward ternary fission accompanied by the8Be nucleus
Experiments in preparation for search for uranium ternary fission by means of nuclear track emulsion are summarized. The study will be focused on the possible involvement of the unstable nucleus8Be in the suggested scenario of the collinear tri-partition ...

Thermal annealing of implanted 252Cf fission tracks in monazite [PDF]
A series of isochronal heating experiments were performed to constrain monazite fission track thermal annealing properties. The 252Cf fission tracks were implanted into monazite crystals from the Devonian Harcourt granodiorite (Victoria, Australia) on ...

Exhumation of the Sierra de Cameros (Iberian Range, Spain): constraints from low-temperature thermochronology [PDF]
We present new fission-track and (U–Th)/He data from apatite and zircon in order to reconstruct the exhumation of the Sierra de Cameros, in the northwestern part of Iberian Range, Spain. Zircon fission-track ages from samples from the depocentre of the

FAIR fission track analysis with geochron@home [PDF]
Fission track thermochronology is based on the visual analysis of optical images. This visual process is prone to observer bias. Fission track datasets are currently reported as numerical summary tables. The interpretation of these tables requires a high
