READ ME File For 'Tomography data for interparticle contact detection analysis in spheroidal granular packings'


DATE: December 2022


DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
Data was obtained from synchrotron X-ray tomography scans a hexagonal close-packed arrangement of 
soda-glass pellets. Scans were carried out at Diamond Light Source (DLS) using beamline I12-JEEP.
Data is organised in two compressed folders containing scans for two contacting and two non-contacting
pellet latices, denominated 'bottom' and 'top', respectively, from their position in the sample. Basic 
scan set-up parameters are given below.

Scan		Ang. range (°)	No. proj.	Exp. (s)
A1		0-180		721		0.4	
A2		0-180		1801		0.4	
A3		0-180		3601		0.4	
A4		0-360		7201		0.4	
A5 1		0-360		3601		0.4	
B1		0-360		3601		0.2	
B2		0-180		1801		0.1	
B3		0-180		1801		0.05	
1 Half-acquisition scan				

The nominal pixel size was 21 microns.

All data is presented in HDF5 file format. Data may be visualised using, e.g., Fiji-ImageJ (use of 
plugin developed by the Paul Scherrer Institute is recommended; see 
https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/ch.psi.imagej.hdf5).
