IPANEMA, a research platform devoted to ancient and historical materials (archaeology, cultural heritage, palaeontology and past environments), is currently being set up at the synchrotron facility SOLEIL (Saint-Aubin, France; SOLEIL opened to users in January 2008). The new platform is open to French, European and international users. The activities of the platform are centred on two main fields: increased support to synchrotron projects on ancient materials and methodological research. The IPANEMA team currently occupies temporary premises at SOLEIL, but the platform comprises construction of a new building that will comply with conservation and environmental standards and of a hard X-ray imaging beamline today in its conceptual design phase, named PUMA. Since 2008, the team has supported synchrotron works at SOLEIL and at European synchrotron facilities on a range of topics including pigment degradation in paintings, composition of musical instrument varnishes, and provenancing of medieval archaeological ferrous artefacts. Once the platform is fully operational, user support will primarily take place within medium-term research projects for `hosted' scientists, PhDs and post-docs. IPANEMA methodological research is focused on advanced two-dimensional/three-dimensional imaging and spectroscopy and statistical image analysis, both optimized for ancient materials.
IPANEMA 是一个致力于研究古代和历史文献的平台（考古学、文化遗产、古生物学和过去的环境），目前正在法国同步加速器设施 SOLEIL（圣奥宾，SOLEIL 于 2008 年 1 月开始向用户开放）建立。这个新平台对法国、欧洲和国际用户开放。该平台的活动集中在两个主要领域：加强对古代材料同步加速器项目的支持和方法研究。IPANEMA 团队目前在 SOLEIL 临时场所工作，但该平台包括建设一个符合保护和环境标准的新建筑，以及一个名为 PUMA 的硬 X 射线成像光束线，目前处于概念设计阶段。自 2008 年以来，该团队一直在 SOLEIL 和欧洲同步加速器设施上支持一系列主题的同步加速器工作，包括绘画中颜料的降解、乐器清漆的成分和中世纪考古铁器的产地。一旦平台全面运行，用户支持将主要在“宿主”科学家、博士生和博士后的中期研究项目中进行。IPANEMA 的方法研究侧重于先进的二维/三维成像和光谱学以及统计图像分析，这两者都针对古代材料进行了优化。
