The 'Battle of Anghiari' is a wall painting made by Leonardo Da Vinci around 1505. Its present day location is unknown but some indications suggest that the mural might be concealed behind a brick wall. Test measurements are presented demonstrating that neutron back scattering (NBS) can be used to search through the wall for the painting. NBS is a non-destructive technique to establish the presence of the hydrogen contained in the painting materials that were probably used by Da Vinci.
《安吉亚里之战》是列奥纳多·达·芬奇于1505年左右创作的一幅壁画。其现今的位置不明,但一些迹象表明这幅壁画可能隐藏在一堵砖墙后面。文中展示了测试测量结果,证明中子背散射(NBS)可用于透过墙壁寻找这幅画作。NBS是一种无损技术,用于确定达·芬奇可能使用的绘画材料中所含氢的存在情况。
