Using synchrotron radiation to secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Dead Sea
One of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century are the Dead Sea Scrolls near Qumran. Researching them remains a scientific and technical challenge to this day.
Modern analysis techniques such as synchrotron radiation offer new, indestructible insights into materials, ageing and even hidden characters.
SESAME, an international synchrotron radiation facility in the Middle East, which is also suitable for studying such cultural assets from the region, could be particularly exciting.
Using concrete examples, the easy-to-understand lecture shows how modern large-scale research facilities can contribute to the preservation and development of our cultural heritage and provides an insight into current research approaches.
This also highlights the important role that international research infrastructures and scientific cooperation can play across borders.
This Science Café is a hybrid event, so our guests have the choice of participating live on the DESY campus or via Zoom. We would be delighted to welcome as many guests as possible live!
