Abstract
Samples of C-13 enriched (99%) calcite were exposed to gamma-ray and alpha-particle irradiations. Due to their g and hyperfine coupling values, the EPR signals could be attributed to four CO2- radicals located in different environments, two CO3- radicals and two non-carbon centred species (at g = 2.0052 and 2.0036). The isotropic dating signal at g = 2.0007 is attributed to a rapidly tumbling CO2- radical. An axial CO2- radical is selectively produced by alpha-particles.
