ABSTRACT
In this research, we performed radiographic experiments exploiting polychromatic phase-contrast imaging, a method for contrast enhancement in transmitted neutron beams by measuring a sample made with a homogeneous material but exhibiting a different microstructure induced by mechanical actions. We were able to reveal the armourers’ marks now obscured by polishing that are present in these examples of medieval armour.
Acknowledgements
Measurements were carried out at the CONRAD instrument (V7) at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. We thank HZB for the allocation of neutron radiation beam time for experiment 16204070.
