EURADOS Training Course: “Bonner Sphere Unfolding Refresher Course”

TC Unfolding

The Training Course "Bonner Sphere Unfolding Refresher Course" will be held as a side-event to the EURADOS Annual Meeting 2025 on Monday, 24th February 2025, 9:00-12:30 in Bucharest, Romania and is organised by EURADOS WG11. 

The Training Course is designed for participants doing spectrometry in neutron or mixed neutron/photon fields who require data analysis using unfolding techniques. Basic knowledge of the unfolding principles is expected. The course will be a hands-on workshop, utilizing the UMGplus code to address unfolding challenges relevant to the attendees. The UMGplus code will be provided several weeks prior to the course, requiring participants to install it prior the course.

To assist us in customizing the course to your specific needs, please complete the following form (https://kk.rs/0pudb) if you are interested in attending.

 

Participation fee

Participation fee (no online participation possible) will be 125 € with a 20 % discount (fee of 100 €) for EURADOS sponsor organisations (see www.eurados.org/sponsors).

The registration and participation fee for this Training Course are independent on the registration and fee for the participation in the Annual Meeting. More details on the course will be given in the 2nd announcement, which will be published in November 2024.

Lecturers

Carles Domingo is the head of the Ionising Radiation Research Group at the Physics Department of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). He received Ph.D. in physics in 1988 from UAB. He has 30+ years of experience in radiation measurements, metrology, and Monte Carlo simulations. He co-authored over 120 indexed scientific publications and participated in about 50 funded research projects in the Radiation Physics field. Currently he is involved in projects on neutron radiation detection and spectrometry and their applications (both Medical Physics and fundamental knowledge).

Eike Hohmann is a physicist in the Department for Radiation Safety and Security at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland. He received a Ph.D. in physics from Hannover University in 2008, investigating neutron spectrometry techniques in the Neutron Radiation Department of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). Since then, he works as radiation protection expert on tasks related the various on accelerator facilities of PSI.

Marcel Reginatto is a physicist at the Neutron Radiation Department of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig, Germany. He received a B.Sc. degree in physics from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1984 and a Ph.D. in physics from New York University in 1992. From 1992 to 2000, he worked at the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) in New York, U.S.A., where he developed the maximum entropy unfolding code MAXED. Since 2000, he has been at PTB, where he works on the development and application of methods of data analysis for radiation measurements.
