Neutron based techniques for materials study are important in fields ranging from chemistry, physics and archaeometry. Neutron diffraction gives information on phases and...

The aim of this experiment is to gain knowledge on the two forging methods applied to make the Japanese swords under investigation. The purpose of the experiment is to correlate...

The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze by means of neutron diffraction structural properties and composition of different iron weapons and blades coming from...

We propose to investigate two different samples of aluminium-silicon foam both with imaging and diffraction techniques. According to the existing models, the liquid metal foams...

An archeological excavation taken in the Querciola area inside the municipality of Sesto Fiorentino (Firenze - Italy) brought to the discovery of a copper age metallurgical...

R&D on neutron detectors not based on 3He is important for both reactors and spallation ysources. Superconductive films were already succesfully tested in the sixties for...

The Bragg edge transmission (BET) analysis is a technique exploiting the presence, position and shape of the edges which form in time of flight transmitted neutron beams. This...

In relation to TOF flight neutrondiffraction experiments conducted on Renaissance sculpture, we are proposing a systematic study of controlled shape, size and thickness effects...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging...

In a preliminary study we investigated the metal characteristics of Harquebusier breastplates. The main body is ferrite (source bloomery iron). The object shows corrosion in the...

We poropse to study the effect of postion, varaiation of distance and jaw size on a configuration of two Cu plates on the INES diffractometer in order to obtain informaton on...

Mesopotamian iron oxide objects in the form of Roll seals and Weight are typical for the Old Babylonian Period (ca. 2000-1600 B.C.). In the museums they are usually cataloged as...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. However, traditional analytical methods are often too invasive to be applied to the most interesting...

In this experiment, we propose to analyze a lamellar structured helmet, with no rivets visible, from the Saotome school, whose products are considered, by most experts, as the...

Grazzi, Scherillo and Zoppicon 1) have for the first time demonstrated the feasibility of neutron radiography on a pulsed source at INES, using a simple CCD camera. To permit...

The key objective is mapping the internal microstructure of a series of samples of European sword blades from the 17th-18th c. The samples, which include a full blade and are...

We propose to determine the mineral phase composition in 15 iron stone samples from the Tall Bazi excavation site in Syria. The results of this investigation will be compared...

The application of neutron based techniques in the field of archaeology is quite recent. In particular, the development of neutron tomography and its application on cultural...

The research and development of new detection devices is a key issue to be addressed in neutron scattering due to the lack of 3He worldwide. Neutron radiative capture in heavy...
