Kolejny publiczny wykład (w języku angielskim) organizowany przez europejski projekt IPERION HS tym razem poświęcony będzie wykorzystaniu promieniowania synchrotronowego w badaniach obiektów dziedzictwa materialnego.
Oto pełna informacja o wykładzie:
You are invited to join the 6th HS Academy Lecture of the series „Current Topics in Heritage Science” – „Sirius – a powerful tool to study ancient materials with synchrotron light” that will be presented by Dr. Verônica C. Teixeira on Thursday, February 16th, 2023, at 3.00 PM (CET).
She will present an overview about Sirius, its construction, the challenges around this project, and the potentialities of using Sirius light in several areas, with the emphasis on studies of Cultural Heritage.
The lecture series “Current Topics in Heritage Science” of the IPERION HS Academy aims at providing online training on fundamental aspects of heritage science, such as techniques and methodologies, as well as on specific heritage typologies and other topics of interest to the field. The lectures are targeted at emerging professionals, such as students and young researchers, but also advanced conservators, curators, restorers, and other cultural heritage stakeholders. The lectures are organized by a team of emerging professionals and are held online through Zoom webinar every third Thursday of the month, starting from September 2022. The attendance is free and the lectures are typically 30 min long, followed by Q&A.
Topic: „Sirius – a powerful tool to study ancient materials with synchrotron light”
Abstract:
Sirius is a 4th generation synchrotron light source and one of the pioneers in this level around the world. Its high brightness and coherent beam make the Sirius light a unique and powerful tool to probe several aspects of matter, in a huge X-ray microscope. Many contrasts based on absorption and scattering can be achieved at the beamlines of Sirius achieving nanometric resolution and allowing unprecedented studies in many areas of knowledge. In this lecture, I will present an overview about Sirius, its construction, the challenges around this project, and the potentialities of using Sirius light in several areas, empathizing studies of the Cultural Heritage.
Key topics we’ll cover
- Advances on synchrotron sources and related techniques applied to the study of Cultural Heritage;
- Sirius as a new platform for studying ancient materials;
- X-ray fluorescence as a non-destructive technique applied to the study of Cultural Heritage
Speaker
Verônica C. Teixeira, beamline scientist of the Coherent X-ray Nanoprobe beamline (CARNAUBA) from the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory: Sirius; which is part of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (Brazil).
She got titles of Bachelor in Physics and Medical Physics, Master and PhD in Materials Science and Engineering in the Federal University of Sergipe-Brazil, and was visiting researcher in the Canadian Light Source (Canada).
