The training component of the k0 workshop is intended for those familiar with "classical" (relative) NAA who are new to the k0-method.
This training session outlines the fundamentals of the k0-method of standardisation, including the advantages and disadvantages compared to the classical relative method. Equipment and software requirements will be described.
k0-NAA requires that the neutron spectrum of the neutron irradiation facilities is calibrated, something not required for relative NAA. This session describes the various ways in which this can be measured.
k0-NAA requires generally more rigorous detector calibration than relative NAA. This session describes the basic detector calibration concepts employed by various k0 software packages.
This is a practical session where participants will be shown how to set up k0-IAEA, including inputting calibration data. Basic operations of k0-IAEA will be demonstrated using previously measured spectra.
This is a practical session where participants will be shown how to set up Kayzero for Windows, including inputting calibration data. Basic operations of KfW will be demonstrated using previously measured spectra.
