Error variation in OSL palaeodose estimates from single aliquots of quartz: a factorial experiment

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
In this paper, the authors used a factorial experiment to study systematic and random differences between measured OSL palaeodoses for a variety of quartz samples, including samples that have absorbed either a large or small natural or laboratory-induced radiation dose, either with or without prior heating or bleaching.

Statistical aspects of equivalent dose and error calculation and display in OSL dating: An overview and some recommendations

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical estimation of uncertainties and variation for comparing and interpreting age estimates, with specific reference to the estimation of equivalent dose (De) values in the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochastic modelling of multi-grain equivalent dose (De) distributions: implications for OSL dating of sediment mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo approach was used to generate theoretical distributions of single-grain De values, which were then randomly mixed together to simulate multi-grain aliquot De distributions containing a known number of mixing components and known corresponding burial doses.

Dating the Quaternary: progress in luminescence dating of sediments

TL;DR: Luminescence dating comprises a collection of numerical age techniques that are among the most significant chronological tools currently used in Quaternary research as discussed by the authors, including thermoluminecence dating of heated minerals to the development of optical dating methods for sunlightexposed sediments.

Luminescence dating of quartz using an improved single aliquot regenerative-dose protocol

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interpretation of the sensitivity corrected growth curve as a function of dose, and the effect of changing measurement conditions (e.g., preheat temperature, size of test dose, stimulation temperature) on the estimation of De.

The single aliquot regenerative dose protocol: potential for improvements in reliability

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) components, other than that usually termed the fast component, on dose determination by the single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol are examined.
