Determination of Equivalent Dose by Using the Slow Componenent of IRSL Decay Curves

Abstract

In this work, the equivalent dose values have been determined using the standard multiple- and single- aliquots process for the geological sample and the infrared stimulated luminescence decay curves were decomposed into fast, medium and slow components using a simple fitting procedure. The Equivalent dose (ED) values were recalculated using these components and the results were compared in between. The ED obtained using the slow components displays comparable results with those obtained by standard methods.
