Beyond fundamental research, accelerators are well known for their contribution to the medical field, especially to cancer therapy. However, they can also be used in more unexpected ways, such as for the analysis of historical artifacts and works of art. Developed by INFN (the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics) and CERN, MACHINA (Movable Accelerator for Cultural Heritage In-situ Non-destructive Analysis) is a compact, transportable accelerator designed specifically for cultural heritage applications. The portability of this type of accelerator is valuable for cultural heritage diagnostics because moving fragile and precious objects such as artworks and frescoes, even over short distances, can be challenging – or sometimes frankly impossible – due to logistical, economic and safety issues. MACHINA is the product of collaboration between CERN and INFN that started in 2017 and is based on a radio-frequency-quadrupole accelerating cavity designed at CERN. Following intens
