“…SSNTD have been used for multiple applications since their first description by Young (1958), including radon and uranium dosimetry (e.g., Stegnar et al, 2013; Hadad et al, 2013), personal neutron dosimetry (e.g., Djeffal et al, 1997; Saint Martin et al, 2011), and detection of cosmic rays (e.g., Dey et al, 2011). One of the outstanding applications includes mapping heavy particle emitters in mineral and biological materials (e.g., Armijo and Rosenbaum 1967; Bersina et al, 1995; Thellier et al, 2001, Rodrigues et al, 2013; Chauhan & Chauhan, 2014). Indeed, the track density analysis on a detector put in contact with a tissue section that contains a heavy particle emitter allows determination of the spatial distribution of the element in the sample.…”
