TITLE: TRAINING COURSE ON NEUTRON SPECTRA 

UNFOLDING (3 DAYS)


A training course on neutron spectra unfolding is being organized 

by the Neutron Dosimetry section of the Physikalisch-Technische 

Bundesanstalt (PTB), Braunschweig, Germany, in collaboration 

with the Health Physics Measurements Group (ESH-4) of the Los 

Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Additional support is provided 

by the Helmholtz-Fonds e.V. The course will be given in August, 

2002 at PTB in Braunschweig, Germany, and in September, 2002 

in Los Alamos, USA .


We will emphasize practical aspects of unfolding. The course is 

intended for those who do spectrometry in neutron or mixed 

neutron/photon fields and who need to analyze their data using 

unfolding procedures. In the morning sessions we will have a 

series of lectures which will provide an introduction to unfolding as 

well as allow for discussions concerning the theory of unfolding. In 

the afternoon sessions the participants will work on specific 

examples at PC-workplaces using unfolding software provided by 

PTB (the HEPRO package of unfolding codes and the MAXED 

code). We will focus on Bonner sphere measurements for our 

discussion of few-channel unfolding, and liquid scintillation 

spectrometer (NE-213) measurements for our discussion of multi- 

channel unfolding. 


The number of participants in each of the courses will be restricted 

due to the limited number of PC-workplaces at our disposal at each 

of the training centers. We therefore encourage you to register as 

soon as possible.
