    2021 - CORTEZ, B.; CHUBACI, J.F.D.; GOMES, M.B.; MENDES, L.; ROCCA, R.R.; ARIZACA, E.C.E.; WATANABE, S.
    Dating of sediments was performed by physics method in this work. Natural radioactivity is present in sediments, and this method is based on the measurement of energy of radiation stored in the solid. Gamma irradiation of sediments create deffects in quartz structure that stores energy by the absorption of radiation. In the present work, Icapara sediment dating was done by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy method. The intensity of EPR signal corresponding to the number of lattice defects with an unpaired electron in sediment quartz could be measured to estimate the accumulated dose of natural radiation and to calculate the geologic age. Located in the region of Iguape at southeast coast of São Paulo State, Icapara is a large sand terrace that was formed due to sea level fluctation that occurred more than 130 thousand years ago. Samples were taken from a point about 9 - 10 meters above the current control of the sea. Ages of 38,000 ±12,000 and 46,000 ± 7,000 years were obtained in this study by EPR analysis that are correlated with the Quaternary Period.

    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 °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.
