QUANTITATIVE CALCULATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DOSE RATE AT DIFFERENT INFLUENCING FACTORS IN LUMINESCENCE DATING

摘要: 释光测年中影响环境剂量率(D)的主要因素包括含水量、宇宙射线、a值(α辐射相对于γ辐射产生释光的效率)和氡逃逸等。为研究这些影响因素对D值的影响程度,采用不同的参数值对一个假定U、Th和K含量已知的样品进行了较详细的定量计算。研究结果表明,含水量变化对环境剂量率影响最大,影响程度甚至可达50%以上;其次为宇宙射线的影响,最大可达近15%;氡逃逸的影响最多不超过8%;而a值通常取固定值,产生的影响则相对小的多。Abstract: The environmental dose rate (D) in luminescence dating can be influenced by water content, cosmic ray, factor a, radon escape, etc. A series of detailed quantitative calculations were applied to the sample A1 with given U, Th and K content for D values using different parameter values of water content, cosmic rays, factor a. The calculations show that the greatest influence is up to 50% with the changes of water content, and the influence from cosmic rays is up to 15%. The influence from factor a is relatively smaller because it usually is a given constant value. The radon escape will bring an error no more than 8%.
