What Does TSL Stand For?
TSL stands for Thermally Stimulated Luminescence
Thermally Stimulated Luminescence (TSL) is a technique used to measure ionizing radiation exposure in materials. When certain materials are exposed to radiation, they trap energy in their crystal lattice. Upon heating, this trapped energy is released as light, which can be quantified to determine the amount of radiation the material has absorbed. TSL is widely utilized in fields such as archaeology for dating artifacts, in geology for assessing sediment exposure, and in radiation safety for dosimetry applications.
