Summary
The deposit contains data obtained during experiments at the HIGS facility at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), Duke University, in collaboration with the University of Connecticut (Uconn). The experimental work was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the analysis and code developed was part funded by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council. The data for these experiments were obtained in 2011-2012 and exact details of when each data file was generated can be found in the attached experiment runbooks. Data and analysis codes needed to analyse the data are contained within the archive and were developed between 2021 and 2025. M. Gai (Uconn) and M.W. Ahmed (TUNL), each served as the spokesperson of the UConn-TUNL collaboration that collected and released the data. The released data were subsequently analysed at Sheffield Hallam University by K. C. Z. Haverson and R. Smith with the help of S. Finch (TUNL), and S.R. Stern and D.K. Schweitzer at UConn.

| Geographic coverage: |
High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) at Duke University, North Carolina, USA |
| Data collection method: |
The data were collected by an optical time projection chamber (detailed in: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/5/12/P12004). Calibration data are included, where a radioactive alpha-particle emitter was placed inside the chamber. The remainder of the data were collected with beam from the HIGS facility entering the detector to induce nuclear reactions. Typical data files with gamma-beam were acquired over hour-long periods. |
| Data processing and preparation activities: |
During the experiment, the raw digitised data were converted into root format for ease of data analysis. Raw image files of the TPC tracks are also included. |
| Statement on legal, ethical and access issues: |
Data pending. |
| Additional information: |
Digitizer and image files are included for beam data and calibration data. Example analysis codes are provided for analysis of beam and calibration data. Data and meta-data required to validate any published research outcomes, and to re-perform a separate analysis, are included within this submission. |
