Abstract
This chapter provides a simple overview of the properties, production, and interactions of neutron beams as they may be applied for the study of cultural heritage and related artifacts. The content is deliberately brief and provides background information for the subsequent chapters. Excellent introductions to Neutron Scattering Theory and the Instrumentation can be found on the website of this book series (Liang et al. in Neutron applications in earth, energy and environmental sciences, neutron scattering applications and techniques. Springer, 2009).
