Negatively Charged Muons as an Elemental Probe for the Carbon Composition of Archaeological and Art objects.
Abstract: Proof of principle of the use of negative muons as a non-destructive elemental probe have been provided by recent trial experiment on the RIKEN_RAl muon facility. We propose to explore this analytic tool to determine the carbon content in bloomer iron test sample and plate armour of the period 1550 -1650 AD as well as the compostion of brass/ bronze alloy and its core filling in 2 small Renaissance bronzes, attributed to François Duquesnoy.
