Abstract
The trapping parameters, namely the activation energy E, frequency fac tor s and b order of kinetics of the thermoluminescence (TL) peaks of calcites (brown and colourless varieties) irradiated with 4.08 kGy of gamma-rays, are determined using the least-squares curve-fitting techn ique. The electron lifetime tau of the peaks of calcite are calculated in order to estimate the upper limit of their utility in TL dating.
