The application of state-of-the-art detector systems at the Advanced Neutron Tomography And Radiography Experimental System (ANTARES) has led to significant improvements in spatial resolution and contrast for geomaterial imaging. Resolutions of approximately 16 µm → 100 µm are now possible with fields of view of 33 mm → 205 mm, a level which is now comparable with X-Ray Computed Tomography...

Neutron radiography has been utilized for a non-destructive imaging taking advantage of high transmission properties of neutrons. New imaging techniques utilizing the neutron energy (wavelength) dependence of the transmission rate have attracted attention over the years. Such two-dimensional information of a specimen as lattice, elements, temperature and magnetic-field are obtainable by...

An interdisciplinary study is running in glazed terracotta sculptures ascribed to the Della Robbia workshop and nowadays exhibited at the most significant museums of Lisbon, like the National Museum of Ancient Art, the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the National Tile Museum and The Jerónimos Monastery of Belém.
The artworks are mainly glazed terracotta medallions with floral/fruit motifs on the...

Bronze and other copper-based alloys have been used in the human history for a few thousand years already as construction material in arts and technology. Usually Sn and/or Zn can be found as main alloying elements together with some minor components as Al, P, Mn, Fe, As and Pb. Prompt gamma activation analysis is a multi-elemental and non-destructive nuclear analytical technique used for...

Large numbers of coins from the Greco-Roman period have been excavated, and continue to be excavated. They can, particularly in sealed contexts, provide crucial information about the dating of stratigraphic layers in-as-much as most coins can be dated by their legends and iconography to relatively narrow brackets of time. Unfortunately these coins frequently suffer from the build-up of...
