Age range
Few years (depending on signal intensity and sensitivity of equipment for which the lexsyg systems are especially developed)
Up to ~150-200,000 years (depending on dosimetry)
Sediment types
Aeolian sediments like dunes or loess are suited very well
Lacustrine and fluvial deposits can be dated
Glaciogenic sediments are difficult
Used for

Murray AS & Wintle AG (2000) Luminescence dating of quartz using an improved single-aliquot regenerative-dose protocol. Radiation Measurements 32, 57-73.
Principle of the single aliquot regeneration (SAR after Murray & Wintle, 2000) method to determine the palaeodose, where the natural luminescence signal is interpolated on the regenerated signal obtained by irradiation of the same aliquot
