Time and place

The upcoming GammaUser 2014 workshop is scheduled to take place on October 6th-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, 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 inter-comparison exercise, participants will be able to download the 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 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 or know someone who might be, 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
