"Beta dose heterogeneity in sediment samples measured using a Timepix p" by Xiao Fu, Anna A. Romanyukha et al.
Single-grain optical dating has been widely used to estimate depositional ages for Quaternary sediments. An understanding of the sources influencing the dispersion of equivalent dose (De) estimates from individual grain measurements is essential for accurate age determination. Beta microdosimetry (i.e., beta dose deposition at the sub-millimetre scale) is a known cause of spread in single-grain De values, so the detection and assessment of beta dose rate (DĖĪ²) variation is important to properl...
