Arkadiusz Mandowski (Institute of Physics. Jan Dlugosz University, Poland)

Equations for a bi-localized system with quasi-equilibrium conditions are considered. The system is solved analytically for TL (thermoluminescence) and OSL (optically stimulated luminescence). TL curve has a double peak structure.

On the Mechanisms of Plasmon-Enhanced Optically Stimulated Luminescence

Eder Jose Guidelli* (University of Sao Paulo , Brazil)

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) intensity is enhanced upon interaction with Localized Surface Plasmons (LSP) but the exact mechanism is still not clear. Our results suggest that trapped electrons optically unreachable can be converted into useful luminescence information via plasmonic coupling. As a consequence, higher dosimetric sensitivity and smaller bleaching times are obtained.

Anomaly Detection of TLD Glow Curves Using three different machine learning classifiers

Gal Amit (SNRC , Israel)

A novel method for the detection of glow curves (GCs) anomaly is presented. The method uses machine learning algorithms in order to detect abnormal GCs shapes and categorize them. A high detection performance rate for either ‘anomalous’ or ‘regular’ GC shape class of up to 96% is achieved, depending on the algorithm type.

P2-012

Luminescence of non-bridging hole centers as a marker of particle irradiation of α-quartz

Linards Skuja (CEA , France)

Oxygen dangling bonds (“non-bridging oxygen hole centers”, NBOHCs), are peculiar to amorphous state of SiO2 and cannot be induced in α-quartz by purely ionizing irradiation. Their presence in quartz normally is an indication of particle-induced damage. Here were detected NBOHCs for the first time in high-dose electron-irradiated α-quartz crystal. Their presence may signal the formation of nucleation centers in crystal structure as the first step to radiation-induced amorphization just below the amorphization threshold.

In the intervals 290£Tmeas£370 K and 420£Tmeas£700 K, the fast component tfast equal to the F center lifetime in excited state tF has a slow component with tslow occurring alongside it. The contribution of the slow component and its time constant are maximal at the beginning and minimal at the end of each of these intervals.

Luminescence dating of old loess samples. Which is the most suitable laboratory protocol for obtaining accurate chronologies?

Daniela Constantin (Interdisciplinary Research Institute on Bio-Nano-Sciences, Babes-Bolyai University, Romania)

The natural signals emitted by polymineral fine grains (post-IR IRSL290 and post-IR IRSL225 protocols) and by 63-90 µm quartz SAR-OSL, enter field saturation for samples immediately below the Eemian palaeosol (500 Gy, 400 Gy and 300 Gy, respectively). Although the laboratory dose response curves on 4-11 µm quartz grow beyond 5000 Gy, accurate ages are obtained only for samples from the last interglacial-glacial cycle (<240 Gy). The measurable range of doses for each signal depends on the degree of overlap between the natural and laboratory dose response curves.


P2-019

Infrared luminescence dating of Spituk Lake sediments in the Indus River Valley, Ladakh, India

Debabrata Banerjee (Physical Research Laboratory , India)

We present infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) ages of Spituk Lake deposits in Ladakh, India. The IRSL ages for seven samples from the Spituk section range from 105 to 170 ka, and suggest that deposition in the Spituk area began at ~170 ka after damming of the Indus River. These ages are substantially older than ~50,000 years BP reported previously by Phartiyal et al (2005). The uppermost unit in this section marks a change in climate and fluvial activity and the IRSL ages suggest that lake existed for another ~70 ka, and later disappeared due to breaching of the dam at ~100 ka.
