SINGLE ALIQUOT REGENERATIVE/ADDITIVE METHOD IN GLSL DATING OF QUARTZ

The most recent development in OSL dating is the single-aliquot method.It has a big advantage over the conventional multiple-aliquot technique.The sensitivity change in the repeated luminescence measurements is the crucial problem for this protocol.The singlealiquot regenerative/additive (SARA)method, using the regeneration and additive dose method together, can allow for the sensitivity change in the repeated luminescence measurements.In the present study, the SARA method was applied to the GLSL dating on quartz extracted from the aeolian samples from loess/desert transitional zone in China.The SARA results were in agreement with the results of the single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) method and the conventional multi-aliquot additive dose method.
