Nuclear physics and cultural heritage
Published: 11 October 2016
A major review of the use of nuclear physics techniques in the study, characterisation and preservation of cultural heritage has been published by the EPS Nuclear Physics Division, in which our Prof Douglas MacGregor played a leading role.
A major review paper describing the use of nuclear physics techniques to study, characterise and preserve cultural heritage artefacts has just been published [15mb PDF]. This review was instigated in 2013 under the leadership of Prof Douglas MacGregor at the EPS Nuclear Physics Division. The production was led by Anna Mackova of the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Prof Douglas MacGregor. The publication of the report represents the successful culmination of four years' work, which involved the creation of an ad-hoc collaboration of 39 experts in different applied nuclear physics specialities from across Europe.
