Abstract
Until now experiments have failed to show that latent tracks can be formed in metallic crystals. For the first time, discontinuous tracks have been observed in crystalline Ni-Zr alloys irradiated by GeV heavy ions. It is shown that their formation results from the very high value of the energy deposited in electronic excitations.
