DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kazuhiko Ninomiya (Osaka University)\nMuon induced X
 -ray emission is a powerful technique for non-destructive elemental analys
 is for bulk material. This method have developed as practical quantitative
  analysis at J-PARC\, and in present\, this method have been applied for v
 arious samples\, such as archeological artefacts\, meteorite and so on. \n
 In this paper\, we report the results of applying this method to medical h
 eritage in Japan. About 200 years ago\, by introducing Western medicine\, 
 many formulations in glass bottles have been left since the late Edo perio
 d. The analysis for these bottles are important for studying the developme
 nt of medicine in Japan\, but some bottles can not be opened due to aging.
 \nIn this study\, elemental analysis experiment using muons was conducted 
 at J-PARC for a glass bottle that can not be open produced in the early 19
 00's stored at Osaka University. By adjusting the incident muon energy\, t
 he muous selectively stopped inside the glass bottle\, and emitted muonic 
 X-rays were measured by germanium semiconductor detectors. The X-ray peaks
  of muonic mercury and chlorine atoms were clearly observed\, and we concl
 uded the formulations was mainly composed of mercury chloride.\n\nhttps://
