Raman mapping reveals alpha radiation damage zonation and its annealing in Durango apatite

•Raman mapping of apatite can be used to reveal the zonation of radiation damage in the mineral.•The FWHM of apatite ν1(PO4) band reveals the accumulation of alpha radiation damage in the crystal lattice.•Fission tracks (with a density on the order of 106 tracks/cm2 and below) in apatite have minima...
