Abstract
It is shown here that electronic excitation and ionization arising fro m the slowing-down of swift heavy ions can lead to structural modifica tions in some metallic targets as it has been known for a long time in insulators, This damage is always created in the close vicinity of th e projectile path and can exhibit various forms.
