How can Neutron Imaging contribute to Heritage Science? An overview at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source

Abstract

Heritage Science HS spans a large variety of objects and materials, as well as anything that has historic, artistic, anthropological, and natural significance. This paper aims to bridge the gap between the physical and natural sciences and the humanities, and divulge neutron imaging techniques to a wider community. Here we give an introduction of the neutron imaging capabilities at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (UK), and a brief overview of some research activities in HS carried out at the facility in recent years, from neutron tomography to elemental imaging.
