Physics for the Environment and Cultural Heritage
Research in physics for the environment and cultural heritage is primarily conducted in Florence at the Nuclear Techniques Laboratory for the Environment and Cultural Heritage (LABEC). Using techniques that involve ion beams produced by the accelerator located in the Experimental Physics building, atmospheric particulate samples are studied from both urban and industrial areas as well as from polar and remote regions. Similar techniques are also used for the analysis and dating of artifacts and finds of historical and cultural interest.
This track is naturally part of the Applied Physics curriculum, and the rules for composing the study plan should follow those. Below are recommendations for the choice of core, supplementary/integrative, and elective courses for this track.

Core Courses: Environmental Physics° Atmospheric Physics Elements of Material Physics Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics Ionizing Radiation Detectors Two laboratories to choose from: Electronics Laboratory Nuclear Physics Laboratory Laboratory of Physics for Cultural Heritage°°
Notes: ° alternatively, for those more interested in Cultural Heritage, the Colorimetry course is recommended (if both are desired, one of the two courses can be selected as an elective). °° from the Bachelor's Degree in Diagnostics and Materials for Conservation and Restoration.
