Fig. 4

Luminescence properties of MET-pIRIR signals using the protocol in Table 2a: (A) Decay curves of K-feldspars and polyminerals, (B) Des at different stimulation temperatures and (C) corresponding DRCs for sample YD9-B, (D) DRCs of MET-pIRIR250 signals of sample YD8-B and their SGC. (E) DRC of MET-pIRIR250 signal of sample of field saturation in the QB, using two exponentials function. (F) Saturate ratio. It is expressed by the ratios of (Ln/Tn) (natural signals) and (Ls/Tn), the latter is derived from ~1969 Gy and field saturated dose for fine-grain polyminerals and coarse-grain K-feldspars, respectively (no fine-grain sample of field saturation were collected).
