Use of Negative Muons for elemental characterization of metallic archaeological finds of great historical and artistic importance.
Abstract: Today, the conservation, preservation and study of cultural heritage is a field of concern within Italy and Europe. The muonic elemental analysis will make possible to discover patterns associated to the selection and provenance of raw materials, the manufacturing processes, the direction of past trading patterns and the persistence of particular cultural traditions. The idea behind this experiment is to optimize muon negative spectroscopy as a non-invasive and non-destructive probe for quantitative “surface to bulk” analysis (improving the data analysis and validating Monte Carlo Simulation) to be used in the archaeometric field for elemental characterization of metallic artifacts from the late Bronze-age of great historical and artistic importance found in different area of the Italy (Sardinia, Tuscany, Lazio and Campania regions) all affected by contact with the Nuragic population.
