Abstract

Since the early 2000s, neutron techniques have become available for the non-invasive characterisation of cultural heritage artefacts, especially those made of metal, ceramic or stone. This is thanks to the ability of neutrons to penetrate deeply into objects, to study their inner volume non-invasively. The neutron methods available can efficiently provide information on the composition and micro-structural properties of materials, along with 2D and 3D images of an artefact's internal structure, helping to answer questions related to manufacturing processes, state of degradation, authenticity and provenance. This Technical Brief presents an overview of the main neutron-based methods and the different types of neutrons suitable for the characterisation of materials of interest in cultural heritage and includes case studies highlighting the impact of these applications in archaeological and historical research.

文化遗产中子技术简介。
自21世纪初以来,中子技术已可用于文化遗产文物的非侵入性特征,特别是金属,陶瓷或石头制成的文物。这要归功于中子能够深入穿透物体,以非侵入性的方式研究它们的内部体积。可用的中子方法可以有效地提供有关材料组成和微观结构特性的信息,以及人工制品内部结构的2D和3D图像,有助于回答与制造工艺、降解状态、真实性和来源相关的问题。本技术简报概述了主要的基于中子的方法和不同类型的中子,这些中子适用于文化遗产中感兴趣的材料的特征,并包括突出这些应用在考古和历史研究中的影响的案例研究。
