Dataset: Infrared-radiofluorescence: dose saturation and long-term signal stability of a K-feldspar sample

Original measurement and processed data of the study Infrared-radiofluorescence: dose saturation and long-term signal stability of a K-feldspar sample submitted for review to Radiation Measurements. The data are structured as follows:

Measurement data 

Processed data

Experiments were carried out at the Archéosciences Bordeaux (UMR 6034, CNRS - Université Bordeaux Montaigne; former IRAMAT-CRP2A) in Bordeaux (France) and at the Département des sciences de la Terre of the Université du Québec à Montréal (Canada). The subfolders are organised by the laboratory where the experiments were carried out: spectrometer measurements in Montréal (00_Montreal_Spectrometer) and spatially resolved measurements (camera) in Bordeaux (10_Bordeaux_Camera). 

Measurement data contains sequence files used to run the experiments (so-called *.lseq files) as well as the raw, unaltered measurement output in the form of files with the ending *.xsyg and *.tiff. For the camera measurements in Bordeaux, the system returned a couple of single TIFF files. We merged those files in two files, one for RFnat and RFreg, for convenience reasons. The data are, however, unprocessed.  

Processed data is organized like the measurement data folder containing all kinds of semi-automated processed data (PDF files, images). All data were processed with the R (R Core Team, 2021) package 'Luminescence' (Kreutzer et al., 2012; 2021) and an ImageJ macro detailed in Mittelstraß and Kreutzer (2021)
