Abstract

Blind test results for the most important materials used in luminescence dating are reported as a measure of the quality of performance of the new luminescence dating laboratory at the Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear, Sacavém, Portugal. At the same time they serve as a measure of the quality of the source calibrations, which are outlined as well, and an estimation of the required charge particle equilibrium (CPE) distance for gamma irradiation of the calibration material is presented. Several different quartz and measurement techniques are employed for the calibration of alpha and beta sources.
