Abstract
It has been shown that at least one thermoluminescence (TL) system, CaF<sub>2</sub>:Mn, exhibits a single slow peak that is <i>not</i> described by the well-known 1st or 2nd order TL kinetics. However, the glow peak is described by the more general kinetic expression from which the well-known kinetics are derived. In addition to determining the usual kinetic parameters, E and s, it has been shown that the retrapping to recombination cross-section ratio, in the CaF<sub>2</sub>:Mn TL system, is roughly 10<sup>-</sup>5</sup>. Implications for the proper interpretation of glow curve features used in TL-dating are discussed based on the behavior of the CaF<sub>2</sub>:Mn TL system.
