In the field of luminescence and electron spin resonance dating, dose rate conversion factors are widely used to convert concentrations radioactive isotopes values. These derived from data provided by National Nuclear Data Center Brookhaven Laboratory, which compiled in Evaluated Structure Files (ENSDF) Wallet Cards. The recalculated a few percent higher than those previously published, except for beta gamma emissions U-series decay chains.
The Gliwice Luminescence Laboratory (GLL) is a part of the Institute Physics – Centre for Science and Education at Silesian University Technology, which has gradually evolved since 1980s. To date, nearly 3500 samples have been dated using luminescence from materials such as ceramics, bricks, sediments archaeological geological sites. Currently, laboratory equipped with four readers three gamma spectrometers, allowing dating approximately 300 annually needs research projects. This article...
The chronology of Late Glacial and Early Holocene dune formation wildfire activity at the Łaskarzew site, eastern Poland, was established using AMS radiocarbon (14C) optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. Situated within European Sand Belt, profile preserves 13 aeolian-soil cycles characterised by alternating phases aeolian deposition, soil formation, episodes, demonstrating dynamic response systems to short-term climatic oscillations. A total 26 charcoal samples, collected...
In this paper we assess two mechanisms for the production of thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) signal in quartz when all stimulation is carried out at 125 °C. One mechanism based on double transfer process previously put forward OSL recuperation following storage room temperature. mechanism, electrons from trap giving rise to fast component are released by optical and some into a refuge via conduction band; these then thermal treatment retrapped responsible...
Abstract In this work, we present a new online service for dose rate calculations in trapped charge dating called “μRate”. The app provides graphical user interface, convenient cloud storage of data, and the ability to exchange data between users. records are organised into projects, which can be easily recalculated with modified parameters. Calculations carried out wide variety input originating from different instruments. Radionuclide concentrations supplied several formats units....
The new accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) Radiocarbon Analysis Laboratory in Jena is described. laboratory developed a combustion system for solid samples and CO 2 extraction air samples. Thus far, sample preparation, including graphitization, was performed the laboratory, were measured subsequently by other AMS facilities. Currently, owns 3MV from HVEE (Netherlands) that has passed acceptance tests will be used routine 14 C determinations near future. equipped with ion sources, one...
A set of 121 radiocarbon and OSL dates has been compiled from the Upper Dnieper River tributary valleys, Western European Russia. Each date was attributed according to geomorphic/sedimentological events classes fluvial activity. Summed probability density functions for each class were used establish phases increasing reducing The oldest detected reduction activity probably due glacial damming at LGM. Within Holocene three palaeohydrological epochs millennial-scale found: (1) high...
Loess formations in Poland display a close relationship with cooling and warming trends of the Northern Hemisphere during Pleistocene. sequences sensitively record regional palaeoclimatic palaeoecological changes. The Złota loess profile (21°39’E, 50°39’N) provides unique opportunity to reconstruct climate conditions past this part Poland. This continuous sequence palaeosol deposits allows distinguish between warmer more humid which is favourable for soil development much colder dry periods...
Loess deposits along the northern fringe of European loess belt potentially record past changes in dust emission from areas proximal to former ice sheets. Recent chronologies across this region generally agree on greatly enhanced deposition rates when Fennoscandian Ice Sheet reached its maximum extent during late last glacial. However, uncertainties over material's source and origin limit understanding causes activity. In particular, southwestern Poland has been attributed multiple origins,...
