Latent Tracks Do Exist in Metallic Materials

Until now experiments have failed to show that latent tracks can be formed in metallic crystals. For the first time, discontinuous tracks have been observed in crystalline Ni-Zr alloys irradiated by GeV heavy ions. It is shown that their formation results from the very high value of the energy deposited in electronic excitations.
