Description

Low background gamma spectrometry, specifically in the support of rare-event experiment material assays, presents a unique set of challenges and considerations from those found in traditional production counting facilities. A general overview of these challenges will be presented, along with some practical methods and approaches that vary in sophistication. Topics to be discussed include throughput, calibration samples/methods, analysis, and community round robins.
