Why neutron?
Neutron techniques offer the possibility to address many of the main analytical challenges on conservation and technological study, in a completely non-invasive way. From imaging to diffraction, from spectroscopy to activation, in the last decade there has been a surge of scientific activity dedicated to the study of Cultural Heritage artefacts. The interpretation of the results requires collaboration across multiple disciplines including metallurgy, conservation, crystallography, art history, material science, and physics.
Why Neutron4?
To encourage the multidisciplinary collaboration in Cultural Heritage using neutron and muon.
To show the current state of the art of neutron techniques in Heritage Science.
Why a crash course?
To learn how to fully exploit the potentialities of neutron-based techniques in heritage science.
To understand how and where neutrons can leverage your research.
To plan an experiment and prepare a successful proposal.
Who can attend?
The event aims at creating a network between experts in neutron and muon techniques and newcomers: students (Master’s, PhD) and early career researchers in Cultural Heritage, Conservation Science, Archaeology, and related fields, as well as museum, art gallery, and Cultural Heritage professionals.
