Translation of the 'MATLAB' program 'Carb' (Nathan and Mauz 2008 DOI:10.1016/j.radmeas.2007.12.012; Mauz and Hoffmann 2014) for dose rate modelling for carbonate-rich samples in the context of trapped charged dating (e.g., luminescence dating) applications.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
