Abstract

Since the infrared radiofluorescence (IR-RF) at 865 nm emitted by potassium-rich feldspars has been proven to be suitable for sediment dating, all instrumentation requirements for this new dating technique have been met. This paper describes the single-aliquot regenerative-dose protocol IRSAR (infrared radiofluorescence single-aliquot regenerative-dose) applied to coarse-grain K-feldspar. Based on state-of-the-art knowledge of the physical background and the methodology, this promising new technique can be used for the dating of clastic sediment samples in the age range up to over 250 ka.
