G. Fazio & G. Mandaglio (2011): Can a latent image explain the characteristics of the Shroud body image?, Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, Aug 2011. The distribution of the fibrils that have yielded the body image on the Shroud is stochastic. In this paper, we show that the hypothesis of latent image can explain the chemical and physical characteristics of the above body image. It is also concluded that the ''Shroud question'' requires new radiocarbon dating done on a sample selected after careful chemical analysis.

F. Curciarello, V. De Leo, G. Fazio & G. Mandaglio (2011): The abrupt changes in the yellowed fibril density in the Linen of Turin, Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, Nov 2011. The present investigation is an attempt to explain the abrupt changes in the yellowed fibril density (or image intensity) values in the dorsal part of the Shroud of Turin body image. The interested areas are the ones at the base of the shoulders and the buttocks. These rapid changes in the body image intensity are not anomalies of the linen manufacture. They can be explained with the original presence of aromas and/or burial ointments.

G. Fazio & G. Mandaglio (2011): Can a latent image explain the characteristics of the Shroud body image?, Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, April 2011. The fibrils that yielded the Shroud body image show a stochastic distribution on the Linen of Turin. In fact, the probability of a fibril yellowing is a function of the energy, while this is not the case for the optical density value. This means that the above image is a latent image. We suggest thermal radiation or low temperature chemical processes as possible natural energy sources to explain, by stochastic effects, the Shroud body image formation. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the phenomenon, we are not able to extract the energy source.
