title: Detailed kinetic study of the thermoluminescence glow curve of synthetic quartz.
abstract: A detailed kinetic analysis has been performed of the thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve of high purity synthetic quartz. The kinetic parameters of the glow peak at 110 degrees C were evaluated for doses ranging from 0.1 Gy to 100 Gy using glow curve deconvolution (GCD), initial rise, variable heating ratc and phosphorescence decay methods. All the methods gave results that agree within the experimental errors.
