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:

1. Measurement data 
2. 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 RF_nat and RF_reg, 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)
