BaseDataSet: Base datasets

Description

Collection of datasets with published and unpublished data used within the package.

BaseData.ConversionFactors

Collection of published dose-rate conversion factors to convert concentrations of radioactive isotopes to dose rate values

BaseData.GrainSizeAttenuation

Grain size attenuation data by Guérin et al. (2012)

BaseData.FractionalGammaDose

Collection of (un-)published fractional gamma dose-rate values to scale the gamma-dose rate considering layer-to-layer variations in soil radioactivity

Format

Dose-rate conversion factors

A list with three elements with dose-rate conversion factors sorted by article and radiation type (alpha, beta, gamma):

AdamiecAitken1998:	Conversion factors from Tables 5 and 6
Cresswelletal2018:	Conversion factors from Tables 5 and 6
Guerinetal2011:	Conversion factors from Tables 1, 2 and 3
Liritzisetal2013:	Conversion factors from Tables 1, 2 and 3

Grain size attenuation data

A data.frame seven columns and sixteen rows. Column headers are GrainSize, Q_K, FS_K, Q_Th, FS_Th, Q_U, FS_U. Grain sizes are quoted in µm (e.g., 20, 40, 60 etc.)

Fractional gamma dose-rate values

A list with fractional gamma dose-rate values sorted by article:

Aitken1985:
