title: Theory of heavy charged particle thermoluminescence response: the extended track interaction model.
abstract: The theory of heavy charged particle TL response is described in the framework of the extended track interaction model (ETIM) which includes an enhanced understanding of the role/parameters of the individual track (i.e. the track structure) which influence the track interaction effects, a more sophisticated treatment of track interaction effects as well as a revised analytical treatment of saturation effects based on knowledge of the dose-filling constants of the TCs and LCs.
