Abstract The NNE-trending Linglong Metamorphic Core Complex hosts the majority of the
gold deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula of eastern China. Many of the deposits are hosted …

This chapter reviews the evolving state of knowledge concerning fission-track (FT)
annealing, primarily in apatite and zircon, based on theory, experiments, and geological …

Abstract Zircon (U‐Th)/He (ZHe) and zircon fission track thermochronometric data for 47
samples spanning the areally extensive Willard thrust sheet within the western part of the …

Fission-track dating is based on the analysis of tracks—linear damage trails—produced by
the spontaneous fission of 238U in a range of natural accessory minerals and glasses. The …

Widespread overprinting of early high‐pressure/low‐temperature (HP/LT) subduction stages
due to subsequent collisional or late‐orogenic tectono‐metamorphic events is a common …

The main feature of the Fission-Track Thermochronology is its ability to infer the thermal
histories of mineral samples in regions of interest for geological studies. The ingredients that …

Fission-track annealing models aim to extrapolate laboratory annealing kinetics to the
geological timescale for application to geological studies. Model trends empirically capture …

We applied zircon fission-track analysis to outcrop and borehole samples to study the
Mesozoic cooling history of the Bachu Uplift, the Central Uplift of the Tarim Basin. Zircon …

The annealing kinetics of fission tracks in zircon is dependent on the quantity of alpha recoil
damage accumulated. This effect must be better understood to improve zircon fission track …

Fission-track annealing models describe the recovery kinetics of a crystalline structure
damaged by the interaction with fission fragments during the geological thermal history of a …
