The AI-HERA project is part of an IAEA CRP aiming to further develop the application of nuclear analytical techniques for the characterization of cultural heritage (CH) objects in order not only to better understand their technological, historical and societal interconnections but also for supporting strategies for their preservation. Resorting to machine-learning (ML) and AI algorithms, the AI-HERA aims to enhance the use Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) to improve data processing and interpretation, analytical decision making and safe irradiation control. These will also allow faster and more reliable analysis with minimal human intervention then optimizing and extending beam time utilization.
