Overview

Welcome to the GammaUser 2014 workshop page of the GammaWiki site. Here you will find information on an upcoming workshop on gamma spectrometry. We hope to see you there and we strongly encourage students and younger scientists to attend to this educational and entertaining seminar!

If you have any comments or questions, please contact us at gammauser2014@gr.is.

First announcement

See the first announcement here.

Time and place

The upcoming GammaUser 2014 workshop is scheduled to take place on October 7th-8th 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. Exact venue TBD.

Program

The program is still under construction. We expect to start at 13:00 in the afternoon of Monday, October 6th, with a half day course for beginners of gamma spectrometry, continue through the morning of October 8th, and closing at noon of October 8th.

Inter-comparison exercise

In time, this section will include information about the pre-workshop inter-comparison exercises. Registered participants will be able to download spectra and sign up for the sample measurements.

Introduction to gammaspectrometry

If there is interest in the community, we plan to start the seminar off, on October 6th, with a half-day introduction class on gamma spectrometry for beginners. We can only plan this course if we know in advance how many students intend to participate. If you are interested in such a course, even tentatively, then please write us at gammauser2014@gr.is.

Invited speakers

We have invited two excellent lecturers to give talks on specific topics on gamma spectrometry.

  • Tim Vidmar
  • Marie-Christine Lepý

Participant presentations

We encourage attendees to present their specific challenges that arise in their use of gamma spectrometry. We will foster a discussion to look for solutions and improvements.

Travel Information

In time, this section will be updated with travel information for attendees. How to get there, where to stay, what to see, public transportation.

Student travel assistance

We would like to encourage participation from younger scientists and students of gamma spectrometry. The Nordic Nuclear Safety Research generously offers travel assistance to selected young scientists and students. Please see their page for details on how to apply.

Hotels

In time, this section will be updated with information hotels and staying options near the seminar venue.

Who we are

The seminar is currently being organised by a working group consisting of: Elisabeth Strålberg (IFE), Óskar Halldórsson (IRSA), Henrik Ramebäck (FOI), Sven P. Nielsen (DTU) and Seppo Klemola (STUK).
