What Does PSL Stand For?

PSL stands for Photostimulated Luminescence

Photostimulated Luminescence (PSL) is a scientific technique used to measure the trapped electrons in certain materials, such as minerals and archaeological samples. This process involves stimulating the material with light, causing it to emit stored energy as luminescence. PSL is primarily utilized in various fields, including geology, archaeology, and environmental science, for dating sediment and understanding past environmental conditions. The method provides insights into the timing of geological events and the chronology of human activities.
