An optimal FP calibration in the framework of this study was established, characterized by 3 MeV ≤ ΔE ≤ 5 MeV and 2 mm ≤ ΔX ≤ 5 mm. Within these boundaries, highly accurate WEPL acquisitions using FP-PR are feasible and practical, holding the potential to assist future online range verification quality control procedures.
