[ RadSafe ] TLD Glow Curve Question

[Falo, Gerald A Dr KADIX]

Hi all,

These discussions about background subtraction concerning TLDs and so on
got me wondering about other spurious readings on TLDs. Do current TLD
readers analyzed the glow curve itself to detect anomalies that would
indicate and non-radiation related result? I recall some work from the
mid-1980s that showed glow curves from impacts, sweat, soap, etc., but I
don't recall if glow curve anomalies were used to discriminate against
spurious readings.

Thanks,
Jerry
