It has been shown that at least one thermoluminescence (TL) system, CaF/sub 2/:Mn, exhibits a single glow peak that is not described by the well known 1st or 2nd order TL kinetics. However, the glow peak is described by the more general kinetic expression from which the well-known kinetics are derived. In addition to determining the usual kinetic parameters, E and s, it has been shown that the retrapping to recombination cross section ratio, in the CaF/sub 2/:Mn TL system, is roughly 10/sup -5/.
