abstract = {The number of radiotherapy patients treated with protons
has increased from less than 60,000 in 2007 to more than
220,000 in 2019. However, the considerable uncertainty in
the positioning of the Bragg peak deeper in the patient
raised new challenges in the proton therapy of prostate
cancer (PCPT). Here, we describe and share a dataset where
43 single-spot anterior beams with defined proton energies
were delivered to a prostate phantom with an inserted
endorectal balloon (ERB) filled either with water only or
with a silicon-water mixture. The nuclear reactions between
the protons and the silicon yield a distinct prompt gamma
energy line of 1.78 MeV. Such energy peak could be
identified by means of prompt gamma spectroscopy (PGS) for
the protons hitting the ERB with a three-sigma threshold.
The application of a background-suppression technique showed
an increased rejection capability for protons hitting the
prostate and the ERB with water only. We describe each
dataset, document the full processing chain, and provide the
scripts for the statistical analysis.},
