Atmospheric and Geodesic Controls of Muon Rates: A Numerical Study for Muography Applications
Instruments, 2022 Muon tomography or muography is an innovative imaging technique using atmospheric muons. The technique is based on the detection of muons that have crossed a target and the measurement of their attenuation or deviation induced by the medium.

Development of the very long-range cosmic-ray muon radiographic imaging technique to explore the internal structure of an erupting volcano, Shinmoe-dake, Japan [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2015 Muography offers us a tool to observe hazardous erupting volcanoes remotely. However, practical muographic observations of volcanoes from a distance are difficult; therefore, various observations have been performed in the vicinity (< 1.5 km) of volcano ...

Muon Radiography Investigations in Boreholes with a Newly Designed Cylindrical Detector
Instruments, 2022 Muons are constantly produced in cosmic-rays and reach the Earth surface with a flux of about 160 particles per second per square meter. The abundance of muons with respect to other cosmic particles and their capability to cross dense materials with low ...

Borehole muography of subsurface reservoirs. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018 Imaging subsurface rock formations or geological objects like oil and gas reservoirs, mineral deposits, cavities or even magmatic plumbing systems under active volcanoes has been for many years a major quest of geoscientists. Since these subsurface objects cannot be observed directly, different indirect methods have been developed.

Distance of flight of cosmic-ray muons to study dynamics of the upper muosphere [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data SystemsThe Earth can be divided by main layers, including the atmosphere, geosphere (solid Earth), and biosphere, depending on its predominant component. In this work, the layer of the Earth which constantly contains a high concentration of muons (∼8×1012 muons)

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 ...
