Figure 1 from Yasuda & Discher (2020) shows the changes of the cw-OSL curve (solid line) and its deconvoluted short lived component (dotted line) with time. Their OSL intensity ratio allows an estimate of the time since the material was dosed in a radiation accident.

New method developed with a lexsyg research to estimate the dose and time elapsed since a radiation accident

A new method was developed with Freiberg Instruments' lexsyg research luminescence reader for emergency dosimetry. The use of blue stimulated OSL with the dosimetric material Mg2SiO4:Tb (MSO) does not only allow the retrospective measurement of the high dose received during a radiation accident, but can also provide an estimate of the time elapsed since such an event.
