Non-Destructive Characterisation of Pigments by Means of the Complementary use of Pixe-Alpha and XRD portable Systems
Conference Paper
Publication Date:

abstract:
The portable PIXE-alpha system realised by INFN-CNR has been employed for
the analysis of pigments present in some Roman frescoes.
The PIXE data have been used to select between the possible mineralogical phases
of interest present in the XRD spectrum of a portable diffractometer.
It is shown, in a typical case, that, by taking into account both the XRD and
PIXE data, a quantitative determination of concentration of the various components
is possible.
