Summary
The determination of isotopic ratios, particularly of lead, is a powerful tool for provenance studies in archaeology and cultural heritage. Conventional techniques (TIMS, ICP-MS) are highly precise but destructive, making them unsuitable for unique and valuable artifacts. The CHNET_MAXI project, a collaboration between ISIS and INFN (CHNet and commission 5) explores a novel non-destructive methodology based on muonic atom X-ray spectroscopy (µXES) and prompt gamma emission following muon capture. While pioneering studies, have already demonstrated the feasibility of such measurements, CHNET_MAXI aims to advance the technique by optimizing detection systems and data acquisition for improved sensitivity and accuracy.
