Detectors are a key feature of the contemporary scientific approach to cultural heritage (CH),
both for diagnostics and conservation. INFN-CHNet is the network of the Italian National …

Lapis lazuli is one of the oldest precious stone, being used for glyptic as early as 7,000
years ago: jewels, amulets, seals, and inlays are examples of objects produced using this …

The present work is focused on the in-situ characterization of defects in single-crystal
diamond induced by 6 MeV carbon ion beam irradiation using ionoluminescence (IL) …

In this paper we report about the micro-PIXE characterisation of lapis lazuli, for a
provenance study of this semi-precious stone, used for glyptic as early as 7000years ago …

Lapis lazuli has been used for glyptics and carving since the fifth millennium BC to produce
jewels, amulets, seals, inlays, etc; the identification of the origin of the stone used for carving …

The first part of this study reports on the wide campaign for the extension of the database of
both trace and minor elements concentration in diopside by means of μ-PIXE measurements …

The progress of construction on the new IBIL (ion beam induced luminescence)
spectrometer installed at the ion microprobe facility of the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) is …

Diamond displays a large variety of luminescence centers which define its optical properties
and can be either created or modified by irradiation. The main purpose of the present work is …

The scope of this work is to present the implementation of an IBIL imaging system in the
scanning external microprobe of the AGLAE facility so as to correlate luminescence and …

Natural heterogeneous lapis lazuli has been investigated using the complementary
techniques of ionoluminescence spectroscopy, ionoluminescence microscopy and micro …
