Abstract

INFN-CHNet, the network of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) devoted to Cultural Heritage, has the mission to develop instruments and methods for heritage science. Within this network, a Macro X-Ray Fluorescence (MA-XRF) scanner was realised for both elemental imaging and spectroscopy. It has been used for a number of applications, such as paintings, ceramics, mosaics and manuscripts. As an example, some measurements conducted at the Centro di Conservazione e Restauro “La Venaria Reale” will be presented. Furthermore, general aspects of the analysis with the INFN-CHNet MA-XRF scanner will be discussed.
