\title{Dose-rate conversion function}
\usage{
convert_Concentration2DoseRate(input, conversion = "Guerinetal2011")
}
\arguments{
\item{input}{\link{data.frame} (\emph{optional}): a table containing all relevant information
for each individual layer if nothing is provided, the function returns a template \link{data.frame}
Please note that until one dataset per input is supported!}
\item{conversion}{\link{character} (\emph{with default}): which dose rate conversion factors to use,
defaults uses Guérin et al. (2011). For accepted values see \link{BaseDataSet.ConversionFactors}}
}
\value{
The function returns an \linkS4class{RLum.Results} object for which the first
element is \link{matrix} with the converted values. If no input is provided, the
function returns a template \link{data.frame} that can be used as input.
}
\description{
This function converts radionuclide concentrations
(K in \%, Th and U in ppm) into dose rates (Gy/ka). Beta-dose rates are also
attenuated for the grain size. Beta and gamma-dose rates are corrected
for the water content. This function converts concentrations into dose rates
(Gy/ka) and corrects for grain size attenuation and water content
Dose rate conversion factors can be chosen from Adamiec and Aitken (1998),
Guerin et al. (2011), Liritzis et al. (201) and Cresswell et al. (2018).
Default is Guerin et al. (2011).
Grain size correction for beta dose rates is achieved using the correction
factors published by Guérin et al. (2012).
Water content correction is based on factors provided by Aitken (1985),
with the factor for beta dose rate being 1.25 and for gamma 1.14.

\deqn{(Wet_weight - Dry_weight) / Dry_weight * 100}
The unit for the weight is gram (g).
