“…Furthermore, the DC technique has to be used in applications where the emissivity of the materials is not well known, such as in the case of the test performed in the PWT facilities to verify the TPS withstanding the hypersonic plasma interactions [12][13][14][15]. Before testing the methodology in the PWT aerospace field, the Center for Isotopic Research on the Cultural and Environmental heritage (CIRCE) accelerator [16][17][18][19], upgraded both to perform accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) up to actinides [20][21][22][23][24] and for experimental nuclear astrophysics [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] as other AMS systems [33], can be used for the preliminary test at temperature values reaching 1500 • C, with materials that, at the beginning of the process, are characterized by a low emissivity, and increase their emissivity value with a carbon ions implantation.…”
