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. The topics covered by GammaWorkshops are:
- Matrix and absorption corrections
- True Coincidence Summing (TCS) corrections
- Natural radionuclides
- Uncertainties and detection limits
It is possible to attend all the sessions or just some of them. The lecturers/instructors include leading expert in the field, Dr. Menno Blaauw (True Coincidence Summing corrections), Dr. Tim Vidmar (matrix and absorption corrections), Dr. Kaj Heydorn (the ISO-11929:2010) and Dr. Tuukka Turtiainen (natural radionuclides). More are to be confirmed.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own computers, with the software installed they usually use for gamma spectrometry. In some of the sessions data for demonstration and practice will be distributed, in some software will be distributed as well.
Schedule
- Monday, 10 to 12, registration at the auditorium front desk
- Monday, 11-13, lunch
- Monday, 13-17, Matrix and absorption corrections
- Monday, 19, Workshop dinner
- Tuesday, 9-12:30, True Coincidence Summing corrections (part I, general)
- Tuesday, 12:30-13:30, lunch
- Tuesday, 13:30-17:30, True Coincidence Summing corrections (part II, software specific solutions)
- Wednesday, 9-12:30, Natural radionuclides
- Wednesday, 12:30-13:30, lunch
- Wednesday, 13:30-17, Uncertainties and detection limits (including GUM and ISO-11929:2010)
Lunch in Risø canteen close to auditorium. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, fruit and biscuits available in auditorium hall with exhibitions during breaks in the morning and afternoon.
(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.
