Purpose: To study EBT3 GafChromic film in low‐energy protons, and for comparison purposes, a reference 60 Co beam order to use it as calibrated dosimetry system the proton irradiation facility under construction within framework of Oncological Therapy with Protons (TOP)‐Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator RadioTherapy (IMPLART) Project at ENEA‐Frascati, Italy. Methods: samples were irradiated Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare—Laboratori Nazionali Legnaro, Italy, 5 MeV generated...
Microorganisms often cause significant damage on historical objects. The archive or library materials 24 as well textile leather artifacts suffer serious attacks that need appropriate care treatments. 25 Several biocide processes have been implemented but their application does not preserve the 26 material of good. objective this work is disinfection through ionizing radiation 27 wallpaper from museum building Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia (Rome, Italy). controlled 28 sterilization treatments...
This paper presents the experimental results on Terapia Oncologica con Protoni-Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator (TOP-IMPLART) beam that is currently accelerated up to 35 MeV, with a final target of 150 MeV. The TOP-IMPLART project, funded by Innovation Department Regione Lazio (Italy), led Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) in collaboration Institute Health Oncological Hospital Regina Elena-IFO. accelerator, under...
Scientific investigation is very important in studies addressing issues of archaeological and historical objects. Ion beam analysis (IBA) macro X‐ray fluorescence (MA‐XRF) spectroscopy are remarkable tools to obtain information about elemental composition imaging artefacts with a non‐invasive character. These techniques were employed the framework project aimed at supporting characterization materials related Roman wall painting. The excavations Villa della Piscina Rome have revealed luxury...
We report the first experiment aimed at demonstration of low-energy protons acceleration by a high-efficiency S-band RF linear accelerator. The proton beam has been accelerated from 7 to 11.6 MeV 1 meter long SCDTL (Side Coupled Drift Tube Linac) module powered with 1.3 MW. done in framework Italian TOP-IMPLART (Oncological Therapy Protons-Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator for Radio-Therapy) project devoted realization therapy centre based on accelerator intensity modulated...
In this work, the effect of X-ray irradiation as a disinfection treatment in original ancient parchment samples, belonging to discarded book cover 16th-century archival register, has been evaluated. Specifically, bacterial and fungal species isolated from have characterized then irradiated with increasing doses X-rays aim evaluate effectiveness antimicrobial protocol on microorganisms. The deterioration effects induced by well natural aging collagen matrix sample tested employing several...
Abstract In this study, the employment of X-ray irradiation as bioremediation method to treat parchment has been deeply investigated. particular, effect doses on structural stability collagen, main constituent parchment, evaluated a series modern samples by means different opto-thermal and spectroscopic techniques in order obtain dose-dependent collagen. Moreover, long-term behavior irradiated considered analyzing same after being hygrothermally artificially aged. Characterizations light...
Precious cultural heritage has been inherited through past activities and maintained by the generations, it includes artifacts objects preserved in institutes or museum areas. As part of study, conservation art other assets was carried out at ENEA Frascati Research Center attention paid to biodegradation aspect caused microorganisms that cause loss information artistic characteristics contained artifacts, for example, covering them, color smearing decorative writing strokes. A non-chemical...
