Estimation of the Snow Water Equivalent Using Muon Scattering Radiography [PDF]

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 ...

Muon radiography for exploration of Mars geology [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2013
Muon radiography is a technique that uses naturally occurring showers of muons (penetrating particles generated by cosmic rays) to image the interior of large-scale geological structures in much the same way as standard X-ray radiography is used to image

Volcanoes in Italy and the role of muon radiography. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
Cosmic-ray muon radiography (muography), an imaging technique that can provide measurements of rock densities within the top few 100 m of a volcanic cone, has now achieved a spatial resolution of the order of 10 m in optimal detection conditions.

Precise characterization of a corridor-shaped structure in Khufu’s Pyramid by observation of cosmic-ray muons [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Khufu’s Pyramid is one of the largest archaeological monuments in the world, and still contains unexplored voids. Here, the authors use cosmic-ray muon radiography in multiple positions to precisely characterize one of these inner structures called the ...

Early signals of water limitations begin at the root-soil interface: linking rhizosphere drying to water uptake decline. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Understanding when and where drought stress originates in the soil–plant continuum is essential for predicting plant responses to climate change. While stomatal closure is a well‐known reaction to declining soil moisture, the precise hydraulic trigger remains unresolved.

Radiation shielding assessment of high-energy proton imaging at a proton therapy facility. [PDF]

Med Phys, 2022
Abstract Background Proton imaging makes use of high‐energy, low‐intensity proton beams that fully traverse the patient and has been suggested to reduce range uncertainty in proton therapy. Upright patient positioning with proton imaging is being considered for a fixed beam room of a new proton therapy facility currently under construction. Considering
