Dendrochronology, luminescence dating, mass spectrometry, neutron activation analysis, radiocarbon dating, X-ray fluorescence analysis
The course is likewise aimed at students of arts, natural sciences and engineering. It shall in particular stimulate the dialog between students from apparently distant areas of research, who are commonly interested in the application of radiation physics methods in the field of arts, geo- and archaeology.
This LVA will be provided in a series of excursion. The following institutions will be visited:
- Atominstitut, TU Wien: Activation Analysis, X-Ray fluorescence analysis, luminescence dating
- VERA, Universität Wien: accelerator mass spectroscopy, C-14 dating
- Geozentrum, Universität Wien: Dendrochronology
- Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien: X-Ray fluorescence analysis
- Analytische Chemie, BOKU: ICP-MS, stable Isotopes
Participation is required, details about this will be given in the first lecture.
