Abstract

Radiation-induced luminescence signals in beige sepiolite samples were investigated using optically stimulated luminescence. A thermally stable, light-sensitive radiation-induced signal was detected, and radiation dose response and thermal properties of this signal were studied. The thermal stability and dose sensitivity of the signal implies the potential of the material for dating and retrospective radiation dosimetry.
