Pre-dose sensitization of various components of LM-OSL signal of a Nigerian annealed quartz sample has been investigated along side with that of 110 °C TL peak in this work. Successive cycles of irradiations and TL/OSL readings using different heating rates were employed to attain pre-dose sensitization. The results showed that the pre-dose sensitization factor of 110 °C TL peak depends strongly on the heating rate of thermal activation. The pre-dose sensitization of 110 °C TL and all components of RT LM-OSL yield HR dependence on the sensitization after TA. This dependence was ascribed to the different heating time associated with each HR. Sensitization of LM-OSL measured at 125 °C generally does not show dependence on HR of TA. This was with the exception of components C 1 and C 3 . Increasing sensitization pattern with increasing HR suggests a correlation between the TL glow-peak at 110 °C, the component C 4 of RT LM-OSL and the component C 3 of the LM-OSL signal at 125 °C. Extension of the present investigation to diverse quartz kinds from different origins was suggested in order to study the prevalence of the pre-dose sensitization on component C 4 of RT LM-OSL. Finally fast heating is suggested for lower sensitization of fast component while applying OSL dating protocols.
