3 Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24
4 PGAA Based on radiative capture of neutrons (Z A + n Z A+1 + γ) Exciting energy = sum of binding energy and kinetic energy of absorbed neutron Prompt Time Decay: s G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24
5 Prompt-γ: measurements during sample irradiation (due to the de-excitation of the compound nucleus) Delayed-γ: due to the beta decay of the new-formation instable nucleus γ spectra: characteristic for any element used for elemental composition and isotope s identification G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24
6 From PGAA to PGAI It is a neutron-based tool for non-destructive bulk elemental analysis A method to obtain the spatial distribution of the elements is to scan the sample with a highly collimated neutron beam and γ-detector Prompt Gamma Activation Imaging (PGAI) method PGAI is combined with Neutron Radiography (NR) or Neutron Tomography (NT) that produces high-resolution 2D/3D images characterisation of the geometrical structure and neutron attenuation features of the object G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24

17 The sample Object name: Prophet Head (Hereafter named Head 1) Author: Lorenzo Ghiberti Date: Owner/institute/museum: Opera di S. Maria del Fiore, Florence Site: Mounted on the Porte del Paradiso Gates of Paradise of the Battistero di Firenze, Italy Material: gilded bronze Size: diameter: f =13 cm, height: 7cm Weight : 2700 g 17/24
18 The Baptistery, San Giovanni in Florence - Religious building in Florence (Tuscany), Italy, which has the status of a minor basilica. - Renowned for its three sets of artistically important bronze doors with relief sculptures by Lorenzo Ghiberti. These doors were named by Michelangelo "the Gates of Paradise" because of their beauty, and they were said to have begun the Renaissance. G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /
19 Conservation problems: A critical aspect concerning the state of conservation regards the chemical and physical stability of the gold layer on the bronze alloy. Copper corrosion compounds (i.e. copper oxides, chlorides and sulphates) are located immediately below the gold layer. Copper corrosion below the gilding produces excrescences, pitting and in some cases micro-lifting, which have damaged the gold layer. Restoration over the last 20 years has focused on selectively removing some of the corrosion compounds under the gold layer and the black crusts above it. In the case of the East door two types of cleaning methods were chosen: a chemical agent bath (Rochelle salt solution - sodium potassium tartrate) and laser ablation. G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24
20 Measurements: Measurements performed in order to map the elemental composition along and through the surfaces, down to approximately 1 mm in depth PGAI measurements were performed on three selected areas of the Head treated with different cleaning procedures (laser ablation, chemical agent and un-cleaned) Neutron beam positioned tangentially to the surface in order to probe layers of several hundreds of microns below the surface reconstruction of composition down to a depth about 1 mm from the surface NR measurements designed in order to obtain an image of the irradiated area during each measurement For each position a set of several measurements was performed at different depths (steps of 0.25 mm) G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24
21 Irradiated areas obtained through the neutron transmission image recorded by the CCD camera during PGAI measurements. Study of irradiated area These profiles were compared with the image of the beam profile without sample the difference between the beam profiles with and without the samples gives the irradiated sample area. (pixel size=70 mm x 70 mm, neutron beam spot area=4.41 mm 2, pixel illumination threshold=20.4 of the gray scale with 255 corresponding to white and 0 to black) G. Festa - X School of Neutron Scattering Francesco Paolo Ricci /24
