A fitting procedure for palaeodose from old sandstone using IRSL

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

In the dating studies of old samples using the Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL), the validity of the curve-fitting employed is of critical importance. So, in this study, a new fitting procedure was suggested for obtaining the age of the old geological sample. IRSL technique was applied using multiple-aliquot procedure to feldspar isolated from sample. The paleodose results obtained, using linear and polynomial fitting, were (67.98±2) Gy, (30.49±2) Gy and 322.03 Gy from the suggested fitting procedure. After application of this procedure the age was found to be 551.4 ka.
