Overview
When certain materials are exposed to radioactivity, latent tracks are left in the material. When such an exposed material is chemically etched, the tracks are revealed as pits. This discovery paved the way not only for a new and useful method of measuring radioactivity, it has also found widespread applications in other fields, ranging from geology and materials science to archaeology and art history. This book describes the physics underlying the technique as well as its applications. Some prior knowledge of physics is required.
