Muography as a new tool to study the historic earthquakes recorded in ancient burial mounds [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2020
Bidirectional muographic measurements were conducted at the Imashirozuka burial mound, Japan. The mound was built in the beginning of the 6th century as a megalithic tomb and later collapsed after a landslide caused by the 1596 Fushimi earthquake, one of

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

Muography for Underground Geological Surveys: Ongoing Application at the Lousal Mine (Iberian Pyrite Belt, Portugal) [PDF]

, 2022
The use of muons for geophysical surveys has been proved successful in numerous projects around the planet. The use of muography in an underground environment has an easy side, when compared to the surface, due to the absence of the background radiation.

Characterization and Performance Assessment of a SiPM-Based Muon Detector

Instruments
We present the upgrade and performance evaluation of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)-based muon detector, originally designed and developed 15 years ago for radiation tracking applications in radiographic imaging with cosmic muons.

Simulation Study of 3D Imaging Method for Low and Medium Atomic Number Objects at Small Scale by Cosmic-ray Muon

Yuanzineng kexue jishu, 2022
Cosmic-ray muon imaging is a new non-destructive technique that uses highly penetrating natural muon to reconstruct objects with high atomic number (Z) or subjects hidden in something by applying muon scattering or transmission technique, respectively ...

Nuclear emulsion techniques for muography

Annals of Geophysics, 2017
Nuclear emulsions are currently being used in the field of muography, more specifically muon radiography of volcanic edifices and fault regions. The peculiar features of such detector for cosmic muons demand appropriate data processing and analysis techniques.

MUYSC: An end-to-end muography simulation toolbox

, 2023
Muography is an imaging technique based on attenuation of the directional muon flux traversing geological or anthropic structures. Several simulation frameworks help to perform muography studies by combining specialised codes from the muon generation ...
