Abstract

Abstract

The feasibility of TT-OSL dating for the eolian sediments at northern slope of Kunlun Mountains was discussed in this paper. The four samples were collected in Keriya River to Pishan County, southern Xinjiang. The measurement results showed that the intensity of TT-OSL signals were very weak, which meant a low signal-to-noise ratio resulting in the sensitive points of the corrected natural and regenerated TT-OSL signals being too scattered to fit a growth curve with high quality and reliability. Therefore a credible D_e will be not calculated. The paper thought that TT-OSL dating for the eolian sediments at northern slope of Kunlun Mountains, Xinjiang couldn't be reliably achieved.
