STUDY ON ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE（ESR）DATING OF FAULT MOVEMENT

阐述了断层泥石英颗粒ＥＳＲ信号达到零化的温度和压力环境，通过４个具体ＥＳＲ测年实例，论述了测年样品的不同零化程度和测年数据的可靠性。对ＥＳＲ信号与ＴＬ（热释光）信号零化环境的差别及其原因进行了初步的探讨。介绍了断层测年样品ＥＳＲ信号达到零化的验证的方法。同时，提出了断层测年样品采集时应注意的有关问题。

The results of pressure and heating experiments on quartz grams from hault gouge show thatthe frictional shearing stress and thermal stress for fault activity are important in resetting of ESRsignals. We found the that difference of resetting conditions of ESR and TL signals are maincause because of difference in energy level of trapped elections excited by fault frictional and ther-mal stresses. The TL signals reset to zero level easier than ESR signals under the same a faultmovement because TL signals are related to shallow energy level of trapped elections． Therefore，the ESR dating of fault movement is releable when the ESR age coincides with TL age for thesarne sample of fault gouge. The opinions of further study on ESR dating of fault movement arealso discussed in this paper.
