Scientific paper

A type of natural track caused by nuclear interactions of alpha particles from radioactive impurities with nuclei has been discovered in mica during a search for tracks of slow, supermassive magnetic monopoles in large muscovite mica crystals. These 'alpha interaction tracks', with length intermediate between fission tracks and alpha recoil tracks, provide a measure of mild thermal events and are valuable in simulating the appearance and stability of tracks of hypothetical monopole-nucleus bound pairs.
