Abstract
Based on experience from many kinds of investigations with neutron imaging methods (radiography, tomography, time-dependent studies) and in comparison to conventional X-ray methods, the authors discuss the potential of future improved studies for cultural-heritage purposes. Whereas the focus of the paper is on the imaging aspect, other established techniques as neutron activation analysis (NAA), prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA), neutron-induced autoradiography and neutron scattering are mentioned too. Although a great potential for studies similar to those described in the paper exists, a considerable effort is needed to define the best-suited methods for the dedicated cultural historical request. A real barrier between the experts at large research facilities (as, e.g., neutron sources are) and the partners from the museums side has to be overcome in order to solve the problems. A joint European approach will help in this respect.
