Equations for the calculation of kinetic parameters of thermoluminescent processes are theoretically derived for a model of an ideal phosphor. The values used in the calculation are obtained from glow curves and the function that describes the normalized glow curve generated. On the basis of this function, the equations for activation energy, frequency factor, and retrapping factor, were derived. All expressions are valid for a general case, when the filling factor of traps is f0≤1. The concept of kinetics order was used for the calculation of parameters and the parameter of kinetics order was defined by means of real physical parameters. Results obtained by the analysis of synthetic curves and experimental glow curves of phosphor materials provide a deeper understanding of thermoluminescent kinetics
