International experts have been 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.

The GammaRayX workshop will be held in Helsinki, Finland at a date in 2021 that will be announced as soon as possible.
 
−
 
−
The '''venue for the workshop''' is [https://www.stuk.fi/web/en/frontpage '''STUK'''].

The [http://halla.gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/images/2/2d/GammaRayX_Registration-form_2020.docx registration form] for workshop participants is available [http://halla.gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/images/2/2d/GammaRayX_Registration-form_2020.docx here]. Please fill in and send it by e-mail to the address mentioned in the form. Deadline for the registration will be announced later, but we would appreciate if you express your intention to participate as soon as possible.
+
Please complete and send the completed [http://halla.gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/images/9/98/GammaRayX_Webinar_RegistrationForm.docx Registration Form] to Raisa Tiililä (raisa.tiilila@stuk.fi) by 8 October 2021. Please see details in the form.

−
== General travel information ==
 
−
 
 
−
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 seminar with a special price of 115 – 140 €, 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 “GammaRay X”. Number of available rooms for the special prices are limited.
 
−
 
 
−
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].
 
−
 
 
−
== Intercomparison samples ==
 
−
 
 
−
Samples for the intercomparison are air filters “salted” with a set of radionuclides. The diameter of the active area of the filters is 77 mm, see [http://halla.gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/images/7/7b/Figure_for_samples.jpg figure]. Radionuclides present in the filters should be identified and their activities determined. Results of the intercomparison will be considered in the seminar.
 
−
 
 
−
The number of samples is limited, which means that same samples will be measured in 2 – 4 laboratories. Please contact Roy Pöllänen (roy.pollanen@stuk.fi) should you need additional information. As mentioned in the registration form, the deadline for announcing participation of the intercomparison is 29th of May.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Please note that your results from the measurements and analyses of the samples must be reported to Henrik Ramebäck (henrik.ramebeck@foi.se) no later than 28 August 2020.'''
 
−
 
 
−
== 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 a 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 seminars. The scope of the webinar 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 have been 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. Please see details in the form.
