Fission-track (FT) analysis has developed into one of the most useful techniques used
throughout the geologic community to reconstruct the low-temperature thermal history of …

Comparison is made of apatite fission-track (FT) ages measured by using conventional
thermal neutron irradiation and Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass …

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 …

Despite the conceptual elegance and simplicity of the External Detector Method (EDM) for
fission track dating, an increasing number of laboratories are switching to LA-ICP-MS as a …

Fission-track (FT) analysis for geological applications involves a range of practical
considerations, which are reviewed here. These include field sampling, the separation of the …

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 …

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) in combination
with developments in digital microscopy, image analysis, and computer software has …

We present a new LA–ICP–MS system for zircon fission‐track (FT) and U–Pb double dating,
whereby a femtosecond laser combined with galvanometric optics simultaneously ablates …

The ratio R of the densities of etchable fission tracks in a mineral and co-irradiated external
detector is shown to depend on the length ratios of the latent (Lf/Lf′) and etched fission …

This chapter introduces statistical tools to extract geologically meaningful information from
fission-track (FT) data using both the external detector and LA-ICP-MS methods. The …
