Abstract

Paintings from Baghcheh Joogh castle belonging to the Qajar era have been analyzed using the PIXE method. The pigments of over 16 samples from various parts of castle have been analyzed in the present study. A proton beam of 2 MeV energy generated by a Van de Graaff accelerator was used for the analysis. A Si ( Li ) detector detected the resulting X-ray spectra. The PIXE elemental analysis was expected to determine the details of golden themes of the wall paintings.
