INES: The IUE Newly Extracted Spectra
IUE (International Ultraviolet Explorer) performed UV spectrophotometry at resolutions of 0.2 and 6 Angstroms from 1150 to 3350 Angstroms, acquiring more than 104000 spectra of... -
Time of flight-resolved gamma background measurements on VESUVIO
Gamma background is one of the main factors limiting the current VESUVIO capabilities. We aim at a characterisation of the time of flight dependence of the gamma background.... -
Characterization of texture of bronze standards through Bragg edge diffractio...
The Bragg edge transmission technique (BET) is a diffraction method exploiting the edges appearing in the transmitted neutron spectra crossing polycrystalline materials and is... -
Test of an array of new thermal and resonance neutron detectors
The R&D activity on neutron detectors is strategic and instrumental for the development of reliable application of the neutron techniques. We propose to use two equal... -
A wide-range energy and wave-vector transfer instrument for pulsed sources
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to reveal structure and dynamics in condensed matter, espacially in hydrogen containing materials. For these systems, the experimental... -
Investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of new Co based fluor...
We have recently managed to prepare powder samples and small single crystals of BaCoF4, BaNiF4, Ba2Co3F10, and the new tetragonal compound Ba2CoF6. These materials are... -
Neutron diffraction characterization of Japanese steel swords fragments
Studying the sword forging techniques, and its evolution with time, is one of the most interesting topics in the analysis of the Japanese blade forging methodology. In that... -
Determination of the elemental composition in relation to the metal alloy usa...
We propose to obtain in elemental composition on Renaissance Bronzes related to the circle of the Sculpto Francois Duquesnoy. A recent attachment of a NRCA detector at INES will... -
Compositional analysis and working technique determination of Japanese artwor...
The Japanese section of the Stibbert Museum, in Firenze, is one of the most important in the world, excluding Japan for obvious reasons. Here many different artifacts are... -
Mineral phase determination in Mesopotamian seals and duck-weights: Objects f...
Mesopotamian seals and duckweights of the period 2000 - 1600 BC are often made of iron-stone which is usually refered to as 'heamatite'. In two prevoius experiments we have... -
Non destructive characterization of Nummi issued during Vth cenrury.
These measurements are aimed to identify the metallurgical and chemical characteristics of some bronze coins, called ¿nummi¿, strucked under Roman Empire, V century A.D..The... -
Determination of the self absorption of gamma emission induced by nuclear res...
We intend to perform some measurements with three NRCA gamma detectors in different geometric configurations in the INES block house in order to get information about the... -
Analysis of Celtic coins from northern Italy
The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze by means of neutron diffraction a selection of about ten celtic coins (III and II century B.C. ) belonging to the Torino... -
Mineral Phase Determination in Mesopotamian Seals
Mesopotamian seals and duckweights of the period 2000 - 1600 BC are often made of ironstone which is usually refered to as 'heamatite" In a recent study we have shown that these... -
Quantitative determination of the phase distribution of an iron tool from a B...
We propose to measure a fragment of a tool, coming from a Bronze Age burial ground of southern Tuscany, which seems to be forged of iron but does not fit with the attributed age. -
Identification of the microstructural characteristics of Damascus steel in 4 ...
From 2009 we have measured at ISIS selected samples of Indian blades from Hyderabad and other private collections in order to determine their phase distribution by neutron... -
A neutron diffraction study of Li2xMn1-xPS3 films
In this experiment we propose to perform neutron diffraction measurements on lithium intercalation compounds,Li2xMn1-xPS3,at room temperature,40ºC,75 ºC,150ºC and under vacuum... -
Composition and texture of ternary and quaternary bronzes to improve a non-de...
Antique bronze objects made of Cu-Sn/Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised; unfortunately, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common ternary... -
Compositional and microstructural analysis of iron meteorites through time of...
Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron... -
Investigation of the phases and chemical composition of early Roman Victoriat...
The proposal involves the non-invasive measurement of ancient Roman coins by ToF diffraction techniques. A well selected series of Victoriati are to be measured in order to...
