Structural analysis of historical materials

This proposal aims at implementing a new access route to the ESRF structural analysis capacities for the Heritage Science community. The upgrade to the ESRF-EBS was the triggering element to propose a single block allocation group (BAG). After discussion with multiple interested research teams, it was decided to target two complementary analytical configurations at the ESRF: High angular resolution XRD (ID22) and High lateral resolution XRD (ID13). The combination of these two beamlines generates precious clues on the origin, processing and degradation of historical materials. The new analytical capacities of the EBS, combined with an optimized access route is expected to increase the output of the Cultural Heritage community, to reinforce a scientific network of expert users structured around the ESRF, and to initiate new European collaborations in Heritage Science.

本提案旨在为遗产科学界开辟一条获取欧洲同步辐射装置（ESRF）结构分析能力的新途径。ESRF-EBS的升级是提议设立单一块分配组（BAG）的触发因素。经与多个相关研究团队讨论后，决定聚焦ESRF的两种互补分析配置：高角分辨率X射线衍射（ID22光束线）和高横向分辨率X射线衍射（ID13光束线）。这两条光束线的结合可为历史材料的起源、加工工艺及降解过程提供宝贵线索。EBS的新型分析能力与优化的访问途径相结合，有望提升文化遗产界的研究产出，强化以ESRF为核心的专家用户科学网络，并推动欧洲遗产科学领域的新合作。
