Trapping parameters from isothermal decay of thermoluminescence; and reply

In commenting on a paper by Moharil (J. Phys. D.: 14:1677 (1981)) the claim made in that paper that the proposed method of analysing thermoluminescent isothermal decay curves for general order kinetics is more accurate than other methods since it is not dependent on the trap depth, is disputed. In a reply the original author maintains that his claim is not that the experimental accuracy of the suggested method is an improvement but that the advantage lies in not using trap depth values.
