Characters of 2D TL, 3D TL and OSL of quartz occurring in Ashele copper deposit, Xinjiang were analyzed. The contrast experiments of TL and OSL of quartz occurring in tuff, Markakuli fault zone, gold deposits and granite pegmatite close to Ashele copper deposit were also conducted. Notable difference was found in TL and OSL of the quartz samples. The 3D TL of quartz samples from Ashele copper deposit have just two TL peaks at 340 nm and 405 nm at 170°C. However, there was a TL peak at 560-590 nm, which is related to hydrothermal genesis, in qu...
