Feasibility Study of a New Cherenkov Detector for Improving Volcano Muography [PDF]

Sensors, 2019
Muography is an expanding technique for internal structure investigation of large volume object, such as pyramids, volcanoes and also underground cavities. It is based on the attenuation of muon flux through the target in a way similar to the attenuation

Atmospheric muography for imaging and monitoring tropic cyclones [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Large-scale solid bodies on Earth such as volcanoes and man-made pyramids have been visualized with solid earth muography, and the recently invented technique, acqueous muography, has already demonstrated its capability to visualize ocean tides and ...

Structural health monitoring of sabo check dams with cosmic-ray muography [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Summary: Debris dams have a crucial role in consolidation of river basins and allow erosion control, flood protection in mountainous areas. Many of these infrastructures have operated over five decades, thus structural health monitoring (SHM) of these ...

Muon Imaging of Volcanic Conduit Explains Link Between Eruption Frequency and Ground Deformation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Understanding the physical mechanism of ground deformation at a volcano supports the use of deformation data as a monitoring tool. An inverse correlation was observed between eruption frequency and ground deformation of Sakurajima volcano from November ...

Igneous processes in the small bodies of the Solar System I. Asteroids and comets [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Summary: Igneous processes were quite widespread in the small bodies of the Solar System (SBSS) and were initially fueled by short-lived radioisotopes, the proto-Sun, impact heating, and differentiation heating.

Principles and Perspectives of Radiographic Imaging with Muons [PDF]

Journal of Imaging, 2021
Radiographic imaging with muons, also called Muography, is based on the measurement of the absorption of muons, generated by the interaction of cosmic rays with the earth’s atmosphere, in matter. Muons are elementary particles with high penetrating power,

Estimation of the Snow Water Equivalent Using Muon Scattering Radiography

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Despite the important hydrological and ecological implications of the snowpack, its real time monitoring remains challenging. This is particularly relevant in relation to the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE), as the available technologies which measure it ...
