The neutron and gamma imaging facility placed at the tangential channel of the TRIGA-ACPR from INR was used to investigate Dacian treasure pieces of silver and ancient statues of clay from the Arges County Museum of History. This collaboration is done within a research contract with IAEA with title “The neutron and gamma imaging method combined with neutron-based analytical methods for...

The more modest funeral effigies in Medieval England of the period 1250- 1400 AD were made of incised tomb slabs with simple crosses. This type of monument evolved in slabs inlayed with Lombardic letters made of laiton (brass). Finally these letters where joined up in brass strips with the letters incised. Finally this process resulted in the monumental brass slab monuments of which many can...

When waterlogged wood is found, the main challenge for the curator is to dry the wood without deteriorating the object. This is often done by replacing some of the water by polyethylene glycol (PEG), and then removing the remaining water by freeze-‐ drying, with the PEG serving as a consolidant. The present study is an attempt to locate the PEG by means of neutron imaging. Eighteen samples of...

The potential of imaging by thermal and fast neutrons has been assessed in the Cultural Heritage field, given the fact that this technique is non invasive and neutrons can penetrate many layers of thick objects. This method provides valuable information to assist preservation and restoration activities and to help dating or attributing through the understanding of the manufacturing...
