Thermoluminescence Studies of β and γ-Irradiated Geological Materials for Environment Monitoring.

In the present report, thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) of quartz and limestone samples irradiated with β and γ-rays has been investigated. Herein the formation of trap depths and calculation of kinetic parameters of β and γ - irradiated quartz and limestone samples were studied through thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve analyses. The quartz and limestone samples were collected from various sites of Chhattisgarh (Patharia and Dalli-Rajhara mines).
