  ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to give some simplified expressions related to the peak shape method. The modified equations have been used to calculate the activation energy (E) of commercial thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), as well as of ZnO thermoluminescent material produced in laboratory; the values so determined have been compared to the values obtained using the classical expressions of the peak shape method. The modified equations proposed are as a function of peak shape parameters or the peak temperature at the maximum. This expression could be useful to obtain approximated E values in the case of complex glow curves as well, when the peaks are not well resolved but the peak temperature at the maximum may be easily determined.
