UK Luminescence and ESR Meeting 2015
Gamma Dosimetry Workshop – 7th July SUERC, East Kilbride
A pre-meeting workshop at SUERC (in East Kilbride) on calibrating and simulating gamma dose rate measurements is also being planned for the 7th July. Capacity for this event is limited to approximately 30-40. The aim of the workshop is to offer opportunities for cross comparison of dose rate instruments on the SUERC calibration pads, and specifically to explore Monte Carlo simulation approaches to gamma dosimetry. Priority will be given to those who are involved in gamma dosimetry measurements or simulations.
The outcomes will be reported to the UKLUM2015 meeting, and will include consideration of future needs and opportunities for training, validation of simulation methods, and further inter-laboratory comparisons of dose rate measurements.
