Ion Tracks in Apatite and Quartz And Their Behaviour with Temperature and Pressure

This book pioneers a novel approach to investigate the effects of pressure on fission tracks, a geological problem that has remained unsolved for 60 years. While conventional techniques to study fission tracks were limited in precision, this book overcomes such issues by using state-of-the-art synch...
