Abstract

It should, in principle, be possible to date a sample without determination of annual dose rate, when two ESR centers of different stability are present. The method assumes that the centers are independent and decay according to a first order process and that their concentration is far from saturation. The model is presented with emphasis on its inherent difficulties.
