Description

Using neutrons in Archaeology, Geology and Cultural Heritage Studies:
Neutron Imaging, Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis and Gamma Scan

The newly founded Lund Institute for advanced Neutron and X-Ray Science (LINXS) is planning a series of “tryout workshops”. The main idea is to give the opportunity to scientists in geology, archaeology and cultural heritage studies to bring their own samples and test different methods, types of radiation and instruments, before a full beam time proposal is written. Also, this would give scholars from different fields a possibility to meet, discuss and learn more about techniques soon available in Lund.

The first one is organized Feb 13-14 in collaboration with the synchrotron ‘Elettra’ in Trieste:

The second one is organized in March 2-4 in collaboration with Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) of Technische Universität München and its research reactor FRM II, with the imaging instruments ANTARES for cold neutrons and NECTAR for thermal and fast fission neutrons, the instrument PGAA for prompt gamma activation analysis, and the support of radiation protection for short-irradiation gamma scans for rough composition determination.
