Abstract

The superlinear dose dependence of the filling of traps, as measured by thermoluminescence (TL), which often occurs under β and γ irradiations, has been theoretically investigated. Assuming competition during irradiation of carriers falling into TL traps and into deeper traps, one gets a linear-superlinear-linear-saturation behavior.
