The interaction between radiation and the Linen of Turin

Abstract

In this paper, we study the possible interactions between radiation and the Linen of Turin. The work is in line with the research focused, by scholars and scientists, on the detection mechanism of the Shroud body image formation. We have analysed the interactions between thermal, UV and particle radiation with the linen fabric. The performed analysis shows that any hypothesis of the Shroud body image formation by radiation must be rejected. Only the background was produced by the action of electromagnetic radiation.
