    Beams: Advanced diagnostics and instrumentation

    The demand from owners and institutions for radiographic imaging of artworks has been steadily increasing in both volume and complexity over time and substantially continues to grow. At the same time, available technology, such as CT systems and components, with a particular focus on data processing, are also rapidly evolving.
    A comparison with other European groups revealed that the average...

    Beams: Advanced diagnostics and instrumentation

    The INFN CHNet Milano-Bicocca group plays a pivotal role in advancing neutron-based methodologies for Heritage Science, focussing on the development of strictly non-destructive investigative protocols. A key research frontier currently being explored, in close synergy with the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (UK), is the implementation of 4D neutron imaging. By exploiting resonance features at...

    Beams: Advanced diagnostics and instrumentation

    Based on the interaction of negative muons with matter and the following emission of X-ray radiation (specific to the atom which absorbed the muon), Muonic atom X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (µXES) is a very powerful method for elemental characterisation. Compared to common methods, which employ X-ray and electron beams, a significant advantage of using negative muons is their remarkable...

    Beams: Advanced diagnostics and instrumentation

    The study of ancient metallurgy, particularly the analysis of bronze and copper alloys, plays a crucial role in understanding the technological and artistic advancements of past civilisations. While traditional analysis involves invasive methods, such as SEM observation of cross sections and metallography, neutron-based techniques offer a highly promising solution for the non-invasive...
