NKS-B GammaWorkshops: Nordic workshops for users of gamma spectrometry

A series of linked workshops on gamma spectrometry, following up issues identified at the two GammaSem seminars, held in 2009 and 2010

26-28 of September 2011, Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Roskilde, Denmark The GammaWorkshop is hosted by Risø DTU and information on how to get there is found at http://www.risoe.dtu.dk/en/meet_us/Vejviser.aspx.


The GammaWorkshops enables the users to address the problems in gamma spectrometry they find most pressing, through lectures and practical exercises in addition to sharing their experience with others in a similar position. It will be possible to attend all the sessions or just some of them.

The main sessions/topics are:

a) Monday, afternoon: Natural radionuclides, ½ day workshop

  • A matter of understanding the Bateman equations for the natural decay chains
  • Giving advice on problems when it comes to real measurements, especially for non-equilibrium cases
  • Library tuning

Monday evening: Workshop dinner

b) Tuesday: True Coincidence Summing corrections – 1 day workshop, to a large degree software specific, parallel session

  • Software specific (GV, Genie)
  • Overview of dedicated software

c) Wednesday, morning: Matrix and absorption corrections, ½ day workshop, software specific, could mean parallel sessions

  • Software specific (GV, Genie)
  • Simulations (MCNP), efficiency transfer methods (ETNA, DECCA)
  • Empirical corrections

d) Wednesday, afternoon: Uncertainties and detection limits, ½ day workshop

  • A general GUM workshop with respect to laboratory gamma spectrometric measurements
  • ISO standard for gamma spectrometry (ISO-11929:2010)


(Please note that the order of the workshops had to be rearranged since the original plan was not suitable for some of the instructors)

Accomodation

A group booking is made for the workshop participants at the Scandic Hotel in Roskilde during 25-28 September (http://www.scandichotels.com/en/Hotels/Countries/Denmark/Roskilde/Hotels/Scandic-Roskilde/). The rate is 960 DKK per night incl. breakfast when referring to the group name RIS250911. Participants are requested to specify and confirm bookings individually to the hotel by 31 August and to the contact person of the local organizers, Ms. Majbritt Nielsen (majb@risoe.dtu.dk). After that date the group booking is not valid.
