THERMOLUMINESCENCE DATING: RADIOACTIVITY IN QUARTZ |
|
| Authors: | S. R. SUTTON D. W. ZIMMERMAN |
| Abstract: | Alpha activities measured for four quartz extracts indicate that, in some samples, the alpha dose-rate to the quartz due to radioactivity within the quartz can be significant. Uranium mapping of the quartz by neutroninduced fission tracks shows that the radioactivity is not homogeneously distributed. |
