Abstract
The theoretical investigation of second-order glow peaks predicts that the total width at half intensity (omega) varies as a function of the fractional filling (f = n(0)/N), where n(0), is the number of electro ns trapped and N the total number of electron traps present. In this p aper experimental evidence of this theoretical prediction is provided by considering a second-order glow curve of chert (a form of quartz). The consequence of this is discussed keeping the problem of peak align ment for plateau tests.
