摘要
It is demonstrated by comparison of thermoluminescence and scintillation light outputs of LSO as functions of radiation time that a previously suggested thermal quenching correction is inappropriate. Approximate solutions of rate equations are employed to infer absolute trap concentrations and to explore the effects of thermal quenching on the shapes of thermoluminescence glow curves.
