Training on hard- and software of nuclear spectrometry both in application and theory Organization of training courses and workshops

• Both convention hotels or at customer site

• Dependant on number of participants and existing infra structure

 

Training courses on these subjects

• Fundamentals of alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation

• Detection of nuclear radiation (Interaction processes, suitable detectors, electronics and analysis software, measurement techniques, functional principles of measurement systems and their application)

• Analysis of spectra (Software, peak search, peak analysis, analysis parameters, calibration, nuclide libraries, correction function and algorithms, limit of detection and identification (e.g. ISO11929)

• Analysis software of well-known companies as Canberra, ITech, Ortec (operation, data analysis, options, comparison)

• Current subjects and trends in nuclear spectrometry and integral measurement methods e.g. ISO11929 (Application and implementation, possible sources of errors, insitu measurements, Monte-Carlo methods in calibration of nuclear spectrometers, incorporation and contamination measurements)

• Hardware (failure diagnosis, troubleshooting, functional tests)

 

Don't hesitate to ask for your individual training programs!

Operation, service, maintenance, periodic testing of running systems
