The development of the (U-Th)/He thermochronometer
<p>(U-Th)/He dating of apatite provides a tool for recording the low temperature (<100°C) history of the crust. A model based on stopping distances in apatite relates the fraction of alpha particles emitted from the crystal during U and Th decay to crystal size. Helium ages for differe...
