Abstract
Partially annealed thermal-neutron-induced fission tracks in apatite exhibit mean etchable lengths that range continuously between a maximum for tracks oriented parallel to the crystallographic c-axis and a minimum for tracks perpendicular to c. A simple empirical model quantifies this crystallographic orientation dependence.
