\arguments{
\item{object}{\linkS4class{RLum.Analysis} or a \link{list} of such objects (\strong{required}) :
input object containing data for analysis}

\item{object.background}{currently not used}

\item{signal.integral.min}{\link{integer} (\strong{required}):
requires the channel number for the lower signal integral bound
(e.g. \code{signal.integral.min = 100})}

\item{signal.integral.max}{\link{integer} (\strong{required}):
requires the channel number for the upper signal integral bound
(e.g. \code{signal.integral.max = 200})}

\item{integral_input}{\link{character} (\emph{with default}):
defines the input for the arguments \code{signal.integral.min} and
\code{signal.integral.max}. These limits can be either provided \code{'channel'}
number (the default) or \code{'temperature'}. If \code{'temperature'} is chosen, the
best matching channel is selected.}

\item{sequence.structure}{\link{vector} \link{character} (\emph{with default}):
specifies the general sequence structure. Three steps are allowed
(\code{"PREHEAT"}, \code{"SIGNAL"}, \code{"BACKGROUND"}), in addition a
parameter \code{"EXCLUDE"}. This allows excluding TL curves which are not
relevant for the protocol analysis.  (\strong{Note:} No TL are removed by default)}

\item{rejection.criteria}{\link{list} (\emph{with default}):
list containing rejection criteria in percentage for the calculation.}

\item{dose.points}{\link{numeric} (\emph{optional}):
option set dose points manually}

\item{log}{\link{character} (\emph{with default}):
a character string which contains \code{"x"} if the x-axis is to be logarithmic,
\code{"y"} if the y axis is to be logarithmic and \code{"xy"} or \code{"yx"} if both axes
are to be logarithmic. See
\link{plot.default}).}

\item{...}{further arguments that will be passed to the function \link{fit_DoseResponseCurve}}
}
\value{
A plot (\emph{optional}) and an \linkS4class{RLum.Results} object is
returned containing the following elements:

\item{De.values}{\link{data.frame} containing De-values and further parameters}
\item{LnLxTnTx.values}{\link{data.frame} of all calculated \code{Lx/Tx} values including signal, background counts and the dose points.}
\item{rejection.criteria}{\link{data.frame} with values that might by used as rejection criteria. NA is produced if no R0 dose point exists.}

The output should be accessed using the function \link{get_RLum}.
}
\description{
The function performs a SAR TL analysis on a
\linkS4class{RLum.Analysis} object including growth curve fitting.
}
\details{
This function performs a SAR TL analysis on a set of curves. The SAR
procedure in general is given by Murray and Wintle (2000). For the
calculation of the \code{Lx/Tx} value the function \link{calc_TLLxTxRatio} is
used.

\strong{Provided rejection criteria}

\verb{[recycling.ratio]}: calculated for every repeated regeneration dose point.

\verb{[recuperation.rate]}: recuperation rate calculated by
comparing the \code{Lx/Tx} values of the zero regeneration point with the \code{Ln/Tn}
value (the \code{Lx/Tx} ratio of the natural signal).  For methodological
background see Aitken and Smith (1988)
}
\note{
\strong{THIS IS A BETA VERSION}

None TL curves will be removed
from the input object without further warning.
