Overview
PART I: Steve McKeever, Emeritus Regents Professor of Physics, Oklahoma State University, USA
“Garbage in: Garbage Out”. Understanding What You Measure is Critical
The discussion will cover understanding kinetics, what the standard equations mean and don’t mean, how to collect the data, essential basic analytical tools, rudimentary and novel peak fitting approaches.
PART II: Vasilis Pagonis, Emeritus Professor of Physics, McDaniel College, USA and Associate Editor, Radiation Measurements
Luminescence signal analysis with open access software in Python and R
Practical examples will be demonstrated using software codes in Python and R for TL/OSL analysis, using actual experimental data files from dosimetric materials. Codes will be made available at the workshop in the form of Jupyter notebooks, which participants will be able to download freely from the web. Using their own laptops, participants can log into their Google Drive account and can run the codes immediately in the Google cloud, within the so called Google Colab.
Organisation
The training course is organised by EURADOS Working Group 10 "Retrospective Dosimetry".
