DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Attila Stopic (ANSTO)\n\nThe 9th International k0-U
 sers' Workshop will be hosted by ANSTO in Sydney\, Australia. This will b
 e the first time the workshop has been held in the Asia-Pacific region and
  only the second time in it will have been held in the southern hemisphere
 .\n\nThe k0-Users' Workshop\n\nUsers' workshops have occurred since 1992 
 approximately every four years.  The format has generally comprised confe
 rence-style presentations covering all aspects of k0-based neutron activa
 tion analysis (NAA) and often featured a technical tour of the hosts' scie
 ntific facilities. \n\nWhat is k0?\n\nThe k0 method of standardisation 
 is an advanced form of NAA that allows for the use of single-element stand
 ards\, among other optimisations.  It was developed in the seventies and 
 early eighties by Prof Frans Fe Corte of Belgium and Dr András Simonits a
 nd Hungary.  Today this method is used worldwide by dozens of NAA laborat
 ories. \n\nTraining course\n\nIn addition to the usual conference-style p
 resentations\, the 9th edition will incorporate for the first time a pract
 ical training course titled "Introduction to k0-NAA for users of relative
 -method NAA."  As the title implies it is aimed at established practition
 ers of NAA who wish to learn how to extend their capabilities by implement
 ing the k0-method in their facilities.  The course will cover the requir
 ed equipment\, reactor and detector calibration methodologies\, using the 
 two most commonly used software packages\, k0-IAEA and Kayzero for Wind
 ows. \n\nhttps://events.synchrotron.org.au/event/191/
