note = "Funding Information: The authors would like to acknowledge Jeff Siebers and Lisa Chan for participating in the measurement of some of the proton depth dose curves at LLUPTF and Steven Rightnar for participating in the measurements of the carbon and iron ion depth dose curves at BNL/NSRL. Rosemary Schaefer is thanked for assisting with the measurements of the kVXCTN using the RXPlan TPS at LLUPTF. Ron Moran and Robert Jones are acknowledged for preparing various slab materials. Composites Horizons, Inc. is acknowledged for preparing composite material samples. Various radiological technicians from the Loma Linda University Medical Center are acknowledged for assisting with the kVXCT scanning. Anil Sharma is acknowledged for assisting with the MVCTN scanning. Adam Rusek and Mike Sivertz are acknowledged for preparing the beamline at BNL/NSRL. The authors would also like to acknowledge the accelerator operators at both LLULPTF and BNL/NSRL who tuned the beam for measurements of the depth ionization curves.
