A prominent glow peak at 175 degrees C was observed, demonstrating consistent sensitivity under preheating conditions. TL glow peaks were studied using variable heating rate (VHR), Tm-Tstop, initial rise (IR), and computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) methods. Eight distinct trap levels with activation energies ranging from 0.92 to 1.28 eV were identified, confirming the material's diverse trap-depth distribution. The dose-response behavior exhibited superlinear characteristics, with a minimum detectable dose (MDD) of 74.4 mGy, making it suitable for low-dose monitoring. Observed anomalous heating rate effects were explained using the semi-localized transition (SLT) model. These findings position GdCa4O(BO3)3 as a promising candidate for luminescence-based technologies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessThermoluminescenceAnomalous heating rateSemi-localized transition (SLT) modelGdCa4O(BO3)3Article10.1016/j.radphyschem.2025.112614232Q1WOS:0014337602000012-s2.0-85218418161Q1
