Abstract

This study presents a MATLAB based program to implement the natural sensitivity correction (NCF) for the assessment of single aliquot regeneration based paleodoses (Singhvi et al., 2011; Chauhan & Singhvi, 2019). Several software packages /spreadsheets are in use to calculate the SAR paleodoses (Des) but do not offer the facility for such a correction. The user-friendly program presented here, computes NCF-SAR paleodoses (Des) and includes the errors in the measured NCF values. MonteCarlo simulation was used to propagate the uncertainties in the paleodoses from the NCF and uncertainties in curve fitting parameters.
