Abstract

Observation of fission tracks in mica has been used to measure low sputtering yields from light-ion bombardment of uranium. The technique is very sensitive and could be applied to measurements of low sputtering yields from materials doped with 235U. The technique is also suitable for the study of chunk emission.
