In a recent paper, an analytical expression for proton Bragg curves was introduced and utilized to best fit photoluminescent depth distributions of optically active F2 and F3+ color centers in lithium fluoride, with the purpose of evaluating the energy spectrum of a proton beam, assumed to consist of the superposition of Gaussian components. Here, an original alternative method is introduced by means of which the same energy spectrum analysis can be performed by iteratively applying a suitable mathematical operator to the photoluminescent depth distribution, no best fitting operation being needed.

Abstract

In a recent paper, an analytical expression for proton Bragg curves was introduced and utilized to best fit photoluminescent depth distributions of optically active F2 and F3+ color centers in lithium fluoride, with the purpose of evaluating the energy spectrum of a proton beam, assumed to consist of the superposition of Gaussian components. Here, an original alternative method is introduced by means of which the same energy spectrum analysis can be performed by iteratively applying a suitable mathematical operator to the photoluminescent depth distribution, no best fitting operation being needed.
