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.

Travel from the Helsinki-Vantaa airport to the main Railway station of Helsinki:
 
 
The easiest way to go to the main railway station is by train  (https://www.vr.fi/cs/vr/en/keharata_en?cmp=etusivun%20alabannerit&itm=Read%C2%A0more). Note that all trains, i.e. not depending on the direction, departing the airport will go to the main railway station. The travel time is around 30 min not very much depending on the direction. The price of the one-way ticket (Zones ABC) is around 5 €.
 
 
 
Travel from the hotels to STUK:
 
 
 
Usually the most convenient way is to use underground with the destination of Siilitie Metro station and have a short walk (https://www.stuk.fi/web/en/about-us/how-to-reach-us). The distance from Siilitie station to STUK is around 800 m. The Helsinki underground network is probably the simplest in the world!
 
 
 
== Accommodation ==
 
 
 
There are lot of hotels nearby the main railway station of Helsinki and please feel free to reserve rooms from these. However, rooms in the Hotel Arthur (https://www.hotelarthur.fi/en/) are reserved for the GammaRay X 2021 seminar with a special price of 100 – 110 €, see the registration form. This special price is available for the reservations done at least one month before the seminar. You can do the reservation by sending an e-mail to the reception (reception@hotelarthur.fi) and giving the reservation code of “GammaRayX1”. The number of available rooms for the special prices are limited.
 
 
 
Hotel Arthur is located around 300 m from the railway station and the distance to the nearest underground station, Helsingin yliopisto, is only 50 m, see letter M in the [http://halla.gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/images/8/8d/Trainstation_to_Hotel_Arthur_Helsinki.JPG map].
 
 
 
== Exercise spectra ==
 
 
 
Two exercise spectra will be provided in a number of standard formats (.cnf, .chn, .n42 and .spc). The spectra will be provided as compressed .zip files. Each .zip file containing the exercise spectrum in a number of formats, information as to the spectrum (channel numbers, geometry description, detector description, calibration information, etc).
 
 
 
Participants should attempt to identify the material present based on identified isotopes and attempt to determine any relevant information as to the material based on the gamma spectrum.
 
 
 
The exercise spectra may be obtained by contacting Mark Dowdall (mark.dowdall@dsa.no).

GammaRayX 2021 Webinar

Welcome to the GammaRayX Webinar page of the GammaWiki web. Here you will find information on the upcoming GammaRayX Webinar on gamma spectrometry that will be held 20.-21.10.2021.

The GammaRayX activity involves webinar covering various aspects of gamma-ray spectrometry. The Roman numeral X in the acronym refers to the tenth event in the series of well-known gamma-ray spectrometry webinars. The scope of the seminar will be broad allowing a range of topics to be considered. For example, the following areas could be included (but are not limited to these):

Laboratory, in-situ and mobile measurements
Whole body measurements
Uncertainty calculations
Efficiency determination
Spectrum analysis and data management
Monte Carlo simulations
Nuclear forensics
Novel/new approaches

International experts will be invited 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 attendees to give “spontaneous” short presentations (5-10 min) on their work. 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.

Registration

Please complete and send the completed Registration Form] to Raisa Tiililä (raisa.tiilila@stuk.fi) by 8 October 2021.

Webinar arrangement and agenda

The workshop agenda will be found here once complete.

We sincerely hope to see you all there.

Webinar cost

No seminar fee will be charged.

Provision regarding COVID-19 pandemia

The organizers will arrange A remote video connection (MS Teams) if relevant corona restrictions in Finland still exist in October. The link will be sent to the registered participants later. No video connections will be arranged if there are no restrictions. Additional information will be sent in due time.
