However, because of the lack of suitable materials for dating, the temporal reconstruction of faulting in bedrock remains highly challenging for geologists. In the present study, we determine for the first time the electron spin resonance (ESR) ages of fault barite (BaSO<sub>4</sub>), which is produced by episodes of intense faulting on basalt bedrock fault surfaces. Three barite samples were obtained from a basalt fault section (27°5′23″N, 100°25′45″E, 1.8 km above sea level) of the Lijiang–Xiaojinhe Fault (LXF), southeastern Tibetan Plateau, for ESR measurements. Similar to marine barite, the ESR spectrum of fault barite shows an electron-type center with g = 2.0037, 2.0034, and 2.0028 attributed to SO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>. The signal intensity systematically increased with increasing gamma-ray dose. Dose rates were calculated using a model based on the location and burial depth of the barite samples, as well as their surrounding bedrock. The three barite samples yield ESR ages of 131 ± 26, 503 ± 61, and 1416 ± 246 ka, respectively, which indicate that the LXF was active during the Early and Middle Pleistocene. The three ESR ages for fault barite from basalt extend the time range of activity of the LXF compared with previous carbonate ESR and radiocarbon dating results. Consequently, we propose that ESR dating of barite is valuable for reconstructing the history of bedrock fault activity. However, given that this investigation represents a preliminary application of the fault-barite ESR method, further study is needed to confirm its usefulness and the accuracy and precision of dating results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21055,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Measurements","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 107306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a typical surface laboratory for environmental radioactivity measurements using HPGe detectors. In surface level laboratories a large part of the background signal is caused by radiation produced by cosmic radiation, mostly by muons. It leads to limiting factors for reaching low detection limits, essential in environmental sample measurements, where relatively low activity concentrations are expected. Thus, reduction of cosmic component of background becomes a requirement, but also a challenge and an expense for already set routine gamma spectrometric laboratories. This paper offers a detailed description of materials and steps needed for construction and implementation of such an assembly as a guideline for other laboratories. The homebuilt veto system presented here is based on large scintillator plates covering the existing passive lead shielding. For the easy and rapid characterization of the veto system, a newly acquired digitizer was used. More specifically, the timestamping capabilities of the CAEN DT5781 MCA were used to identify the coincidences caused by muons between the scintillators and the HPGe. With the 3 plates added, a reduction factor of 2.4 was achieved, reducing the count rate between 40 keV and 2700 keV from 0.58 cps to 0.27 cps. After the full characterization of the veto system, the setup was transferred back to the previously used Canberra DSA, more suitable for routine measurements. This step and its description are lacking in the existing literature, while it is very valuable for the laboratories already set up for the environmental measurement. The additional advantages of a homebuilt system are the modularity and multi-purpose of the system which can later be used for different applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21055,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Measurements","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 107302"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142320189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
