Steps used in the protocol used for determining equivalent doses. For the quartz fraction, the SAR protocol (Murray and Wintle, 2000) is used.

OSL SAR protocol – main steps
1 Irradiation with the regenerative beta dose Di
2 Preheat at a temperature of 260°C for 10 s (final temperature is determined after preheat plateau test)
3 Blue light stimulation at a temperature of 125°C for 100 s
4 Irradiation with the test dose Dt (10% of the natural dose, but not <1 Gy)
5 Cut-heat at a temperature of 220°C
6 Blue light stimulation at a temperature of 125°C for 100 s
