List of participants

It is imperative that the project leader (researcher, curatorial manager, doctoral student, master, external, etc.) is the one who carries out the data analysis work and the research work (or the museum exploitation) that results from it. (thus to ensure optimal demand for tomographic acquisition specificities). The cost estimate will be sent to the project owner.

Scientific project

Summary of the scientific project for this request (200 words maximum)

The summary may, for selected projects, be posted on the website of the platform and in the dissemination documents produced by the platform.

Contributions of the method (200 words maximum)

Details on the interests of tomographic analysis (what is the contribution of tomography for your project, which structures do you wish to highlight (area of interest), what types of post-processing analysis will be used, etc.)?

Project framework (200 words maximum)

Explanations on the broader framework in which the project fits (Master, Thesis, funded research program (ANR, ERC, PICS, etc.), preventive conservation, exhibition, restoration, etc.).

Study material

Material and methods (500 words maximum)

Details of the material to be analyzed (collection (s) of origin of specimens, number and size of specimens and / or bones or fragments that compose them *, provide photographs *), if possible estimate of technical requirements (number of x-rays or any known acquisition parameters; to the document AST-RX_presentation et modalite de fonctionnement.pdf explaining how the technical platform operates). An exhaustive description of the study material is essential to the choice of the best tomographic analysis parameters and to the estimation of the scanning time and the cost of the service. For MNHN specimens, the inventory number is required.

Total number of specimens

Specimens from MNHN collections

Collection code Catalog number inside the chosen collection

You will not be able to submit your project if the inventory number is wrong or does not exist (please contact the relevant curatorial manager if the number is not valid). Examples: HA then D-2, HA then D-1-bis

Specimens external to the MNHN

Full inventory number

No checks are made for these inventory numbers

Desired period for the surface analysis (and possibly unavailabilities).

The acquisition period will also be defined in accordance with the timetable of the AST-RX platform

Complément

Attach a file

Please attach a single file (preferably in pdf format, maximum size 64 MB) containing photographs of the specimen(s) to be digitized in all relevant orientations; and possibly any other complementary information (previous experiences, methodologies used, problems related to the handling of the object, etc.).

Agreement and sending

I have read the information contained in the technical document « AST-RX_presentation-and-operating-of-technical-plateform» of the AST-RX plate of the MNHN. I undertake to respect all the operating rules of the plateau and those of the collections of the MNHN.

Publications resulting from work done within the platform must mention the UAR 2700 in the acknowledgments under the terms: « AST-RX, plateau d'Accès Scientifique à la Tomographie à Rayons X du MNHN, UAR 2700 2AD CNRS-MNHN, Paris». An exhaustive list of the publications relying on data acquired on the platform must be send by the project manager to the AST-RX team.
