Topics

Tentatively the structure of the Clinic will be similar to that of the 2010 Clinic, with some invited presentations and the expectation that many users will do informal and impromptu presentations of their own data. A preliminary schedule is:

• Day 1: PMF, errors, MS intercomparison
• Day 2: quantification issues, calibrations, CE, RIE, semi-refractory...
• Day 3: High-resolution issues, elemental analysis
• Day 4: overflow and other topics
