GammaRayX Anniversary Seminar
Welcome to the GammaRayX Workshop page of the GammaWiki web. Here you will find information on the upcoming GammaRayX anniversary workshop on gamma spectrometry that will be held at STUK, Helsinki 8-10 September 2020.
The GammaRayX activity involves an anniversary seminar covering various aspects of gamma-ray spectrometry and intercomparison exercises. The Roman numeral X in the acronym refers to the tenth event in the series of famous gamma-ray spectrometry seminars. The scope of the seminar will be broad allowing a range of topics to be considered. For example, following areas could be included (but are not limited to these):
- Laboratory, in-situ and field measurements
- Whole body measurements
- Uncertainty calculations
- Efficiency determination
- Spectrum analysis and data management
- Monte Carlo simulations
- Nuclear forensics
- Novel/new approaches
The intercomparison exercises cover analyses of samples distributed to participants and measured in their laboratories and analyses of exercise gamma spectra distributed to participants.
International experts will be invited to the seminar to give presentations on different aspects and new developments in gamma-ray spectrometry. Participants are encouraged to give presentations on subjects of their choice, describing their applications of gamma-ray spectrometry and possible challenges encountered, new developments in detectors, electronics and data analysis. We strongly invite seminar attendees to give “spontaneous” short presentations (5-10 min) on their work. These short presentations will give us better opportunities to get to know each other during the seminar. Participation of students and young scientists is highly welcome.
Overview and background
This work is supported by the Nordic Nuclear Safety Research (NKS). GammaWiki is a resource webpage for Nordic users of gamma spectrometry. GammaWiki is a product of the NKS GammaSpec 2016 activity, which is an independent continuation of the GammaUser (2014), GammaTest (2013), GammaWorkshop (2011-2012), and GammaSem (2009) activities.
A page with links to individual information pages for previous workshops can be accessed here.
