By publishing this dataset, we aim to support studies on the general characteristics of luminescence behaviours of natural minerals and support the FAIR guidelines for data sharing. This data is primary <strong>unmodified measurement data with all the possible errors and typos!</strong> <em>Please note: The dataset was compiled with the greatest care. However, the dataset comes without any guarantee. Human errors are always possible. If you feel that, after reading the original study and this document, the metadata describing the dataset is insufficient, please contact the data curators so that this document can be updated accordingly. Contrary, the primary cannot be updated/modified!</em> <strong>Dataset structure</strong> The dataset consists of sequence files (<code>SEQ</code>) and measurement data (<code>BIN</code>). To each <code>.bin</code> file, there should be one corresponding sequence file. Measurement data are tagged with sample names in the <code>.bin</code> file, e.g., unless, in case of mistakes, samples can be distinguished in the file. <code>...BIN/</code> <code>BIN/A-VALUE/:</code>measurement data with <em>a</em>-value measurements; the alpha irradiation was partly done on an external source <code>BIN/MAIN/</code> measurement data with data used to estimate the equivalent dose of each sample <code>BIN/PREHEAT_PLATEAU</code> files with combined preheat and dose recovery test results <code>BIN/MISC</code> various additional measurements as indicated by the name <code>...SEQ/</code> <code>SEQ/A-VALUE/</code> <code>SEQ/MAIN</code> <code>SEQ/PREHEAT_PLATEAU</code> <code>SEQ/MISC</code> <code>...DE_CSV_EXPORT</code> The extracted equivalent dose values from the measurements with uncertainties in s. <em>Please note that samples were partly measured on different machines. All files are selections; in the course of the study, we carried out various additional measurements, in particular, preliminary tests; those data are not included in the dataset to keep the dataset comprehensible. </em> <strong>Used abbreviations</strong> Abbreviations as used in the measurement and sequence file names.
