We offer various training in instruments and measures to support skills development and improve productivity through advanced technical knowledge.
We also offer a wide range of training courses or services led by international experts. Among them are:
Sampling and analysis: Dr. Ousmane Ndour
UPCOMING TRAINING OPPORTUNITY: Detectors and Gamma Spectroscopy
PARTICIPANT PROFILE: Technical staff
LOCATION: Dakar, Senegal
LANGUAGE: The working language will be French
POINT OF CONTACT: Dr. Ousmane Ndour
OBJECTIVES: To provide hands-on training and practical exercises to technical staff on the radiation detector operations, maintenance, and repair.
A radiation detector developed by Measures & Instruments will be assembled by each participant and used to detect and measure x-ray and gamma-ray. This miniature (size of a business card) and lightweight radiation detector consists of a sensor (scintillator on avalanche photodiode) and a front-end electronic board containing an ultra-low-noise preamplifier and a fast-shaping time (10 ns). This modular gamma spectroscopy detector is the first of its kind dedicated for educational and training purposes.
AGENDA: The hands-on training will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to radiation detector systems
- Detector assembling
- Radiation measurements
- Gamma spectroscopy
- Hands-on session / Detector troubleshooting and repair
