DEPARTAMENTUL FIZICA NUCLEARA APLICATA

Grupul de arheometrie utilizeaza metode bazate pe fizica nucleara si atomica in vederea studierii diverselor aspecte legate de obiectele de arta si arheologice (autentificare, provenienta, restaurare, conservare), avand ca finalitate pastrarea si valorificarea patrimoniului cultural national.

METODE DE ANALIZA DISPONIBILE IN CADRUL IFIN-HH:

• XRF (fluorescenta de raze X) cu sursa de ²⁴¹Am;
  

• PIXE (emisie de raze X indusa de particule incarcate) la acceleratorul Tandem



PARTICIPARE LA EXPERIMENTE DE TIP LARGE SCALE FACILITY ACCESS (LSFA), PROGRAM CADRU V AL UNIUNII EUROPENE

• Studii de microstructura folosind microPIXE la Forschungszentrum Rossendorf, Germania si Laboratori Nationale di Legnaro, Italia.

• Experimente de difractie de raze X pe pulberi la sincrotronul MAXII, Lund, Suedia.

TIPURI DE PROBE ANALIZATE:
Monezi din aur, argint si cupru



Ceramici,Portelanuri



Sticle
