Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Different single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocols have been applied for some years to quartz grains for determining the equivalent dose, in both dating and retrospective dosimetry studies as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, an argon-ion laser is used to excite electrons from thermally-stable light-sensitive traps and the subsequent luminescence used as a measure of the past radiation dose.
Abstract: A new method for dating sediments is proposed, which determines the time since the sediment was last exposed to sunlight. An argon-ion laser is used to excite electrons from thermally-stable light-sensitive traps and the subsequent luminescence used as a measure of the past radiation dose. Two sample sequences spanning the periods 0–700 kyr and 0–6 kyr show steadily increasing luminescence with age. An age of 62±8 kyr is obtained for a silt radiocarbon dated at 58.8±0.3 kyr. Problems were found with two much younger samples.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of distinguishing between quartz and feldspar based solely on their luminescence behavior, using the ratio of the OSL signal when measured with and without prior infrared stimulation.
