Momentum-Dependent Cosmic Ray Muon Computed Tomography Using a Fieldable Muon Spectrometer
Energies, 2022 Cosmic ray muon tomography has been recently explored as a non-destructive technique for monitoring or imaging dense well-shielded objects, classically not achievable with traditional tomographic methods. As a recent example of technology transition from

Gamma Rays as Probes of Cosmic-Ray Propagation and Interactions in Galaxies
Universe, 2021 Continuum gamma-ray emission produced by interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar matter and radiation fields is a probe of non-thermal particle populations in galaxies. After decades of continuous improvements in experimental techniques and an ever-

A bremsstrahlung-identification technique for cosmic-ray electrons and positrons [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1974 Abstract We introduce a new technique to separate energetic e + and e − from a background of other particles. The technique utilizes a selective trigger, radiation of bremsstrahlung photons by incident e ± , magnetic deflection of the e ± after photon emission, and the separate detection of both the e ± and the photons in a shower detector ...

Quantifying mesoscale soil moisture with the cosmic-ray rover [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Soil moisture governs the surface fluxes of mass and energy and is a major influence on floods and drought. Existing techniques measure soil moisture either at a point or over a large area many kilometers across.
