Luminescence dating of K-feldspar from sediments: a protocol without anomalous fading correction

TL;DR: In this paper, a protocol for optical dating of potassium-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) is proposed, which utilizes the IRSL signal measured by progressively increasing the stimulation temperature from 50 to 250°C in step of 50°C, so-called multi-elevated-temperature post-IR IRSL (MET-pIRIR) measurements.

Luminescence dating of quartz using an improved single aliquot regenerative-dose protocol

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.

Cosmic ray contributions to dose rates for luminescence and ESR dating: Large depths and long-term time variations

TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of cosmic rays to the dose rates for TL/ESR dating depends on altitude, latitude and depth below ground level, and the effects are shown to be small over the past 500 ka in most circumstances.

Dose-rate conversion factors: update

TL;DR: In the field of luminescence and electron spin resonance dating, dose rate conversion factors are widely used to convert concentrations of radioactive isotopes to dose rate values as mentioned in this paper, which are derived from data provided by the National Nuclear Data Center of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, which are compiled in Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data Files (ENSDF) and Nuclear Wallet Cards.
