Training Seminar

Fundamentals of Gamma Spectroscopy

Instructor: Mike Diaz

Dates:
Day 1 - Monday, July 29, 2024

Day 2 - Tuesday, July 30, 2024

Cost: $1700.00

CECs: 16

Prerequisites: Mirion Course GP-101 Principles of Radiation Detection or equivalent knowledge and experience. A complimentary screening through a placement exam is strongly recommended if course GP-101 has not been completed in the previous 12 months.

Description: This seminar covers the complete range of gamma spectroscopy principles from a review of radiation detection principles to evaluation of results and everything in between. This is a concentrated, concise, fast-paced seminar that includes a practical approach to all aspects of gamma-ray spectrometry. The seminar is not for hardware or software operation training but does include an introduction to Mirion gamma spectroscopy software. The seminar is entirely in lecture format and includes mathematical exercises for many of the calculations germane to gamma spectroscopy.

Who Should Attend: New technologists or supervisory personnel who need to gain a thorough understanding of the process by which gamma spectrometric measurements are made. This seminar is also suitable for experienced technologists desiring a gamma spectroscopy fundamentals refresher.

How You Will Benefit: Attendees who complete this seminar will gain a thorough understanding of all the fundamental processes which contribute to the collection and analysis of gamma-ray spectral data. This knowledge will allow the attendee to understand the operation of gamma spectroscopy systems and accurately interpret basic gamma-ray spectral analysis results. Managers and supervisors benefit from the assurance that the technologist has a thorough working understanding of the fundamental principles that guide successful gamma spectroscopy analyses.
