Abstract
A model for the annealing kinetics of fission tracks is proposed based on a simplified track. The principal hypothesis is that the atoms displaced during the passage of the fission fragment have to transmit through a potential barrier to occupy the vacant sites left. The resulting model equation is applied to zircon data both from laboratory and geological sources. The model succeeded in fitting the data and the addition of the geological data during the fitting procedure improved the extrapolation of the model to the timescale of millions of years, which is the timescale of interest in geology applications.
