    Luminescence dating and firing temperature determination of ancient ceramics fragments from the Tunata-hill site in the Churajon archaeological complex in Arequipa, Peru
    2023 - PACOMPIA, YOLANDA; SUPO-RAMOS, JUSTO G.; GONZALES-LORENZO, CARLOS D.; CALLO-ESCOBAR, DARWIN J.; ROCCA, RENE R.; PASTRANA, ELIZABETH C.; GOMES, MONISE B.; SILVA-CARRERA, BETZABEL N.; WATANABE, S.; AYCA-GALLEGOS, OSCAR; AYALA-ARENAS, JORGE S.
    Ancient pottery fragments from the Tunata-hill site in Churajon archaeological complex, Arequipa, Peru, were dated by means of luminescence techniques such as thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) in order to provide absolute chronology. For TL, additive and regenerative methods were performed. For OSL a regenerative method was carried out for IRSL dating. A rigorous description of the study area and its context has been made. The ages of the samples were found to be between 0.50 Ā± 0.06 ky and 0.49 Ā± 0.03 ky for TL methods, and 0.49 Ā± 0.02 ky for OSL methods. On average, the estimated age by TL and OSL techniques is 490 Ā± 70 yr (1600 AD and 1460 AD). This means that Churajon ceramics under study would belong to the Late periods which corresponds to the Inca region, and the North sub-region of the Late Churajon phase, and the beginning of European colonization in Peru. X-ray fluorescence technique (XRF) analysis has shown the main presence of Fe (39.5%), Si (30.0%), and Al (10.4%) in fine pottery powder. Furthermore, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique was used to study the firing temperature using the iron signal (Fe3+) as a firing temperature reference. The firing temperature of ceramics was found to be around 550 Ā± 50 Ā°C.

    Study of thermoluminescence of green quartz pellets for low dose dosimetry
    2020 - CUEVAS-ARIZACA, E.E.; MAXIMO RONDON, R.; ROCCA, R.R.; GOMES, M.B.; CORTEZ, B.; GONZALES-LORENZO, C.D.; TAKARA, J.H.; GUNDU RAO, T.; CANO, N.F.; CHUBACI, J.F.D.; CAMPOS, L.L.; WATANABE, S.
    Green quartz is usually studied for low dose TL dosimetry of gamma and X radiation. The aim of the present work is the dosimetric characterization of natural green quartz in the dose range of 0.47 mGy up to 1000 mGy of gamma and X radiation. Green quartz pellets were produced by cold pressing green quartz powder. The pellets are very sensitive to gamma and X radiation with main prominent TL peak at 230 Ā°C. The TL sensitivity of MTS-N (LiF:Mg,Ti) and green quartz pellets were also compared. The dose response curve presented linear behavior in the dose range studied. The glow curve was deconvoluted. Kinetic parameters such as trap depth, kinetic order (b) and frequency factor (s) are determined. The TL photon energy dependence was also evaluated.

    Thermoluminescence studies of polycrystalline CaSiO3 pellets for photons and particle therapy beams
    2020 - GONZALES-LORENZO, CARLOS D.; NASCIMENTO, LUANA F.; KODAIRA, SATOSHI; GOMES, MONISE B.; WATANABE, SHIGUEO
    In this work, pellets of CaSiO3 have been produced for investigation as gamma radiation, proton, and carbon ions detector. They were then irradiated to gamma radiation using 137Cs and 60Co sources. Furthermore, pellets of CaSiO3 were exposed to 160 MeV proton and 290 MeV/n carbon ion beam from an upper synchrotron. Thermoluminescence (TL) responses of these pellets presented the same prominent peak at about 170 Ā°C, and two possible high-temperature peaks at 270 and 320 Ā°C when irradiated to gamma, proton, and carbon ion beam. Dose-response curve, minimum detectable dose (MDD), energy dependence, and dependence on the dose rate when irradiated with gamma radiation were evaluated in this material. Linear dose-response curves for proton and carbon ion irradiation have been compared to that of the gamma dose-response. In this way, the dose read out in Harshaw TL reader presented a good agreement with doses found using ion chamber in the case of proton beams and slightly less in the case of carbon beam due to the LET dependency. Furthermore, relative efficiencies of CaSiO3 for beam irradiation of proton and carbon ion display no dependence in the analyzed particle doses range.
