DESCRIPTION:The 9th International k0-Users' Workshop will be hosted by AN
 STO in Sydney\, Australia. This will be the first time the workshop has b
 een held in the Asia-Pacific region and only the second time in it will ha
 ve been held in the southern hemisphere.\n\nThe k0-Users' Workshop\n\nUse
 rs' workshops have occurred since 1992 approximately every four years.  T
 he format has generally comprised conference-style presentations covering 
 all aspects of k0-based neutron activation analysis (NAA) and often featu
 red a technical tour of the hosts' scientific facilities. \n\nWhat is k0
 ?\n\nThe k0 method of standardisation is an advanced form of NAA that all
 ows for the use of single-element standards\, among other optimisations. 
  It was developed in the seventies and early eighties by Prof Frans Fe Cor
 te of Belgium and Dr András Simonits and Hungary.  Today this method is 
 used worldwide by dozens of NAA laboratories. \n\nTraining course\n\nIn a
 ddition to the usual conference-style presentations\, the 9th edition will
  incorporate for the first time a practical training course titled "Introd
 uction to k0-NAA for users of relative-method NAA."  As the title implie
 s it is aimed at established practitioners of NAA who wish to learn how to
  extend their capabilities by implementing the k0-method in their facilit
 ies.  The course will cover the required equipment\, reactor and detector
  calibration methodologies\, using the two most commonly used software pac
 kages\, k0-IAEA and Kayzero for Windows. \n\nhttps://events01.synchrot
