Abstract "The emphasis in the present book will be on results that one can get from simulations, which can add a new dimension to results from theoretical considerations mainly based on simplifying assumptions. Chapter 1 will introduce both techniques. Thermoluminescence, methods for evaluating trapping parameters, and additional phenomena of TL will be featured in chapters 2 to 4. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) will be discussed in chapter 5 and the next chapters will detail analytical and approximate expressions of dose dependence of TL and OSL and simulations of TL and OSL in dating and dosimetry procedures. Chapters 8 and 9 will detail the pre-dose (sensitization) effect and simultaneous measurements. Chapters 10 to 13 will focus on applications in medical physics, radiophotoluminescence, quantum-mechanical basis of TL and OSL and the exponential integral. The book will conclude with the appendix and the bibliography"-- Provided by publisher.
