Simulated Annealing for volcano muography [PDF]

Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2021
Muography or muon radiography is a non-invasive emerging image technology relying on high energy atmospheric muons, which complements other standard geophysical tools to understand the Earth's subsurface. This work discusses a geophysical inversion methodology for volcanic muography, based on the Simulated Annealing algorithm, using a semi-empirical ...

Muography

Nature Reviews Methods Primers, 2023
Muography takes advantage of the specific properties of cosmic-ray muons, relativistic leptons that are much heavier than electrons. Cosmic-ray muons have strong penetrating power and a relativistic nature, which means they can be used in a range of technologies, including imagery; positioning, navigation, timing (PNT); and secured communication in ...

Lingacom muography. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
Lingacom Ltd develops detectors for muography—imaging using cosmic-ray muons—together with imaging algorithms and tools. We present selected simulation results from muon imaging of cargo conta- iners, from a joint muon and X-ray imaging algorithm, and for ground surveys using borehole detectors. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting

Muography, Outreaching, and Transdisciplinarity: Toward the Golden Age of Muography

Journal of Advanced Instrumentation in Science, 2022
Abstract We demonstrate that cosmic-ray muography is a fundamentally multidisciplinary research field requiring an outreaching and transdisciplinary approach to support and speed up its current positive growth stage. The transit from expert-driven multidisciplinary research to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research requires publishing and ...

3D imaging of a nuclear reactor using muography measurements with Micromegas detectors [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
Transmission muography is a non-invasive and non-destructive imaging method which allows to estimate the integrated density of a volume in a given direction (also referred as opacity).

Muography: overview and future directions. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
Cosmic-ray muography uses high-energy particles for imaging applications that are produced by cosmic rays in particle showers in the Earth's atmosphere. This technology has developed rapidly over the last 15 years, and it is currently branching out into many different applications and moving from academic research to commercial application.

First muography of Stromboli volcano. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractMuography consists in observing the differential absorption of muons – elementary particles produced through cosmic-ray interactions in the Earth atmosphere – going through the volcano and can attain a spatial resolution of tens of meters. We present here the first experiment of nuclear emulsion muography at the Stromboli volcano.

Muography in the University and in the Museum

Journal of Advanced Instrumentation in Science, 2022
The LouMu project would not be possible without the support of the Mine of Science, Centro Cieˆncia Viva do Lousal. LIP sup- ported the first steps of the project with funding and human resources from several groups, in particular from the Education, Communication, and Outreach group.

Revisiting the Limits of Atmospheric Temperature Retrieval From Cosmic‐Ray Measurements

Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract A priori, cosmic‐ray measurements offer a unique capability to determine the vertical profile of atmospheric temperatures directly from ground. However, despite the increased understanding of the impact of the atmosphere on cosmic‐ray rates, attempts to explore the technological potential of the latter for atmospheric physics remain very ...
