Improved simultaneous LET and dose measurements in proton beams of clinical relevancy using Al2O3:C OSL detectors

Measurements of optically stimulated luminescence detectors (OSLDs) irradiated with protons at a wide range of doses and linear energy transfers (LETs), along with Monte Carlo simulations of the experiments to demonstrate the LET measurement capabilities of Al2O3:C.

The data is used to produce the results presented in the paper titled "Improved simultaneous LET and dose measurements in proton beams of clinical
relevancy using Al2O3:C optically stimulated luminescence detectors", herein referred to as the "paper".

Four irradiations were used for the experiments and simulated as detailed in the paper in table 1:
* field "d1" being the dose calibration
* field "f1", a 70 MeV single energy layer
* field "f2", a small spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP)
* field "f3", a wider SOBP
Data provided in this repository are labelled according to these fields (d1, f1, f2, or f3).

Three types of data files are given, where the data structure is descried in the section below:
1) the raw zipped OSL data after the OSLDs were read out with the Risoe reader in pulsed mode.
The data are stored according to the field names above and can be processed with e.g. the R Luminescence package or the Risoe Software.

2) a data frame "OSLD_Al2O3C_df.xlsx" where the OSLD data has been processed and split into UV and blue emissions.
Each line with the OSLD information further show the irradiation parameter, e.g. information about the readout time for the fading analysis,
OSLD position along the central beam axis, field name, and OSLD package name to group the data.

3) the Monte Carlo LET and dose simulations are provided in "Monte_Carlo_dataframes.xlsx".
The names of the four spread sheets refer to the field names defined above and in table 1 in the paper.
