| Thanks to the k0-standardisation method, Neutron Activation Analysis has
evolved to an efficient element analysis technique that can even be used
commercially. Kayzero(R) calculates element concentrations taking into
account all aspects dealt with in the k0-method, including efficiency and
coincidence correction calculation (Solcoi(R)). The Kayzero/Solcoi (R) software was developed by Robbert van Sluijs at DSM Research, The Netherlands, under the care of the fathers of the k0-method, Prof. Dr. Frans De Corte and Dr. Andras Simonits. Since Prof. De Corte retired on the 31st of May 2007 (thank you for the good support), all information requests and orders should be addressed to: R. van Sluijs. k0-ware, The Netherlands. (phone: +31 45 5726757; e-mail: robbert.van.sluijs@hetnet.nl). Discussion forum for sharing comments or problems so we all learn from our experiences. Comments? Sorry for the popup window it is coming from the free counter which is used. If you like to receive a mail when the website is updated: Just send a mail. You do not need to give any information about yourself but we can perhaps suit you better if you do give some information. E.g. your name, institute, the kind of software you use now, etc.. |
The Windows version is fully compatible with all old data. The program runs in the directory of the DOS-Version without any interference and uses the same data. All SOLCOI options are included. Spectrum deconvolution (determination of peak locations and areas) is not implemented in Kayzero for Windows, file formats for spectrum and peak table files from Sampo90, Hypermet, Hyperlab and Genie are supported; other formats on request (free of charge). Recent presentations on Kayzero for Windows: at the NAMLS, at the latest k0-users Workshop and at the MARC-VII. Have a look at Screen Captures from Kayzero for Windows or download the program and use it as a Demo version. At the 4th k0-users workshop the "final" version was presented. The new version includes: integrated direct SOLCOI calculations, multi-monitor f and alpha determination, reactor fluxvariation during irradiation and improved gamma interference correction. This upgrade, as well of all future upgrades will be free of charge for all "Kayzero for Windows" users. Based on remarks from users there will continu to be new updates. Download page for Kayzero for Windows users and other interested NA-analysts. Find the program (it turns into a demo version if you don't have the Dongle), the driver for the Dongle, the dataset (KayV5A), the Vademecum (old, but is being updated) and the first draft of the new updated manual. The new update of Kayzero for Windows is new available on the download page. The improvements are listed in a text-file in the KayWin.Zip file. The next major upgrade is planned in Januari 2010. This will not be free of charge. The new features in the upgrade will be presented at the 5th k0-users workshop in Belo-Horizonte, September 2009. |
