Chemical composition and depth profiling using negative muons of Medieval double-edged swords

Abstract: The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age swords. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of Viking swords began to exhibit a more slender blade geometry and moving the centre of mass closer to the hilt.
