October 22-26: EURADOS School on Retrospective Dosimetry

The EURADOS School on retrospective dosimetry is intended for scientists who are new in the field and those who want to deepen and widen their knowledge.

New registration deadline: July 31, 2012

It will give general and practical information on different physical and biological assays for dose assessment. The main focus will be on the performance of the dosimetric assays after unclear or assumed human exposure to ionizing radiation. The school will be composed of lectures, tutorials and mainly of prac-tical exercises given by experts in the field.  

Topics to be covered:  

• Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and luminescence (OSL/TL) of teeth and objects carried on or close the body  
• Identification of radiogenic EPR/OSL/TL signals and reconstruction of absorbed dose  
• Introduction into automated dicentric, CMBN and γH2AX Assay  
• Steps needed to go from an aberration yield to a dose estimation (incl. control group, calibration curve)
