Muography applications developed by IFIN-HH. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
Cosmic-ray muons have been studied at IFIN-HH for more than 20 years. Starting as fundamental physics research, the muon flux measurements bring new directions of study regarding muography. Two new directions have been recently developed: underground muon scanning of old mining sites in order to detect the possible presence of unknown cavities and ...

Atmospheric Muon Flux Measurement near Earth’s Equatorial Line

Instruments, 2022
We report measurements of muon flux over the sky of the city of Bogotá at 4°35′56′′ north latitude, 74°04′51′′ west longitude, and an altitude of 2657 m above sea level, carried out with a hodoscope composed of four stations of plastic scintillators ...

Muography of the Puy de Dôme

Annals of Geophysics, 2017
Muon radiography is an imaging technique that relies on the transmission of cosmic muons through matter. It allows the measurement of density maps of large structures such as volcanoes. During the second half of 2013 the MURAY detector prototype it carried out a data taking the Puy de Dôme in the framework of the scientific collaboration with the ...

3D Muography for the Search of Hidden Cavities. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractMuography (or muon radiography) is a technique that exploits the penetration capability of muons, elementary particles similar to electrons but with a mass about 200 times larger. High energy muons are naturally produced in the interactions of cosmic rays with the Earth atmosphere.

Japanese volcanoes visualized with muography [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2018
High-energy muons that are generated via the reaction between primary cosmic rays and the Earth's atmosphere can be used to map out the density distribution in shallow parts of a volcano's interior. This new subterranean imaging technique called muography has been applied to three different kinds of volcano dynamics in Japan: lava dome formation ...

ScanPyramids project: Overview on the Validity and Limitations of Non-destructive Techniques

Research and Review Journal of Nondestructive Testing, 2023
In 2017, ScanPyramids project (www.scanpyramids.org) published a paper in Nature (Morishima et al., 2017) revealing the discovery of a big void (ScanPyramids Big Void BV) observed with nuclear emulsion films (Muography), it has a cross-section similar ...

Cosmic coding and transfer for ultra high security near-field communications

iScience, 2023
Summary: By using true random number (TRN) generators, encoding with the highest security can be realized. However, a completely secure strategy to transfer these TRNs has not yet been devised.

Muography applied to archaelogy

, 2022
A tomography experiment using muon cosmic rays was conducted on an archaeological site in Greece, a tumulus. This contribution presents issues related to the simulation of the experiment and of the site, using tools commonly used in high-energy physics.

Investigation of background sources of muography [PDF]

Proceedings of 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2017), 2017
Muography is a technique for the imaging of the interior of large size objects, such as volcanoes, mountains, with the measurement of the flux of high energy cosmic muons. The electrons/positrons, high energy hadrons and low energy muons can contaminate the muon signal. These background sources require a good understanding of the creation processes, as
