Abstract The Fish Canyon Tuff (FCT) has served as an important source for geochronology
standards, particularly for fission track, K–Ar and (40 Ar/39 Ar) dating, even though efforts to …

The authors have developed and demonstrated an independent calibration of zircon fission
track dating with the external detector method. During the past two decades, investigations …

Laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is increasingly
used in fission-track analysis to determine the uranium content of host mineral specimens …

Martian meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034 and its paired stones are the only brecciated
regolith samples from Mars with compositions that are representative of the average martian …

Since the announcement by Fleischmann and Pons that the excess enthalpy generated in
the negatively polarized Pd–DD 2 O system was attributable to nuclear reactions occurring …

Abstract LA–ICP-MS (laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) has the
potential to measure uranium concentration for fission-track (FT) chronometry as an …

Standardless fission-track ages for four zircon, two titanite and three apatite age standards,
most of them recommended by the Fission Track Working Group of the IUGS …

Five dating strategies were used for determining the standardless fission-track age of the
Durango apatite. These use the same fossil-track densities but differ in the manner in which …

Inhalation of the airborne short-lived radon progeny is regarded as the most crucial way of
internal exposure to the natural radiation dose delivered to the human lung. In this respect …

Anorthositic series apatites of the Duluth Complex, Minnesota, USA, have high spontaneous
fission‐track densities of up to~ 107 cm–2 and a homogeneous age of~ 900 Ma, allowing …
