The theory of peak shape methods (PSM) correlates the macroscopic geometrical characteristics of a single TL peak with activation energy of the level responsible for the TL peak by assuming that the area under a TL peak can be approximated by the area of a triangle. In this way the geometrical characteristics becomes the measure of the activation energy. In the present work new PSM expressions are derived, which are not empirical as the existing ones but are based of the physical model of one trap one recombination (OTOR) center. Three cases are considered. (I) Delocalized OTOR for re-trapping probability smaller than the recombination probability. (II) Delocalized OTOR for re-trapping probability greater than recombination probability. (III) Localized transitions OTOR model. The system of differential equations of each case model were solved analytically using the Lambert <span><math><mi>W</mi></math></span> function (or equivalently the Wright <span><math><mi>ω</mi></math></span> function). Then the resulted analytical expressions of TL intensity as a function of temperature were used to derive new PSM.
