Neutron resonance capture analysis (NRCA) is used in the Ancient Charm project to determine element concentrations in cultural heritage objects. NRCA employs gamma-ray detectors to determine time-of-flight spectra that reveal the resonance structure in neutron induced reaction cross sections. One of the objectives is to produce a high-detection efficient NRCA system capable of mapping element distributions. The detection system is described together with the results of neutron beam tests at the time-of-flight facility GELINA and at the pulsed neutron spallation source ISIS (UK). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
Neutron resonance capture analysis (NRCA) is used in the Ancient Charm project to determine element concentrations in cultural heritage objects. NRCA employs gamma-ray detectors to determine time-of-flight spectra that reveal the resonance structure in neutron induced reaction cross sections. One of the objectives is to produce a high-detection efficient NRCA system capable of mapping element distributions. The detection system is described together with the results of neutron beam tests at the time-of-flight facility GELINA and at the pulsed neutron spallation source ISIS (UK). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
