Use of Negative Muons for elementary characterization of metallic archaeological finds

DOI

The idea behind the proposed experiment is to use muon negatives spectroscopy as a non-invasive and non-destructive probe for quantitative “bulk” analysis to be used in the archaeometric field for elemental characterization of artifacts and ancient objects. This project aims to perform the in-depth study with muons beam of metallic artifacts from the late Bronze-age found in different area of the Italy (Sardinia, Tuscany, Lazio and Campania regions. In particular the goal should be to achieve a series of measurements on homogeneous type objects from three different areas of the Italian peninsula all affected by contact with the Sardinian population.
