Altogether, eleven samples from a range of depositional environments and with a wide range of known ages were tested. Bleaching tests show that the pIR-YSL signal bleaches at a rate and extent that is similar to the IR50 signal. Dose recovery tests on four of the young intermediate samples illustrate that the pIR-YSL signal can be both recovered and fully reset. Equivalent dose estimations of the modern samples indicate that the YSL50 signal more consistently returns a result close to 0 Gy than the IR50 signal in fluvial samples. The saturated samples show that the IR50, IR-YSL and YSL50 signals significantly underestimate relative to the pIRIR290 signal and independent age control. Fading tests show that all three signals suffer from significant fading, with the largest fading effect on the YSL50 signal, whereas the IR50 and pIR YSL signals have similar fading rates. We note however, that the De values of the YSL50 signal for the young intermediate samples are largely in agreement with independent age control, while the IR50 signal underestimates and the pIRIR290 results overestimate. We propose that low temperature YSL has the potential to be suitable for dating samples spanning from the last glacial maximum to the Holocene.}}, journal = {{Radiation Measurements}}, volume = {183}, eid = {107421}, }
