Optical Fiber Based Dosimeter Data From RADEF Pulsed Electron Beams - Oscilloscope Traces

Abstract

These data are from tests of fiber optic based dosimetry systems. The purpose of the collected data is to use it for characterizing the different tested samples responses against pulsed electron radiation, for different electron bunch sizes.

The tested samples are sol-gel silica glass rods doped with Ce, Cu, or Gd ions, making the rods radioluminescent. The samples were connected to a multimode pure-silica core optical fiber, which transported the radiation induced luminescence (RIL) to a photomultiplier tube (PMT) with an optical band pass filter in front of it. The samples were subject to a pulsed 20 MeV electron beam. The resulting output pulses from the PMT from the induced RIL light were then recorded in an oscilloscope, and the recorded pulse traces are contained in this data set.

The data files are generally of 40 s long traces, which contains the recorded pulses from 30 s long irradiation runs of 20 or 200 Hz pulsed electron beam. The files in are binary data files, containing the sample trace (channel 1) and a parallel signal from a Si diode (channel 2), stored after the channel trace 1 in the binary file. The files can be extracted using an included python function in the data set.

Further information is available in the Readme file included in the data set.
