Experiments on muon radiography with emulsion track detectors [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Muon radiography is a method of study the internal structure of large natural and industrial objects based on sensing an object with a flux of cosmic muons with their subsequent registration and analysis of the pattern of their dispersion, or conplete ...

Muon Radiography of Ancient Mines: The San Silvestro Archaeo-Mining Park (Campiglia Marittima, Tuscany) [PDF]

Universe, 2019
Muon absorption radiography is an imaging technique based on the measurement of the absorption of cosmic ray muons. This technique has recently been used successfully to investigate the presence of unknown cavities in the Bourbon Gallery in Naples and in

Development of Nuclear Emulsion Detector for Muon Radiography [PDF]

Physics Procedia, 2015
AbstractMuon radiography is the non-destructive testing technique of large-scale constructions with cosmic ray muon. Cosmic ray muon has high penetrating power and it always comes from the whole sky. In the same way of taking a X-ray photograph, we can obtain integrated density of constructions which thickness are several tens to several hundreds.

Towards a muon radiography of the Puy de Dôme [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2013
High-energy (above a few hundred GeV) atmospheric muons are a natural probe for geophysical studies. They can travel through kilometres of rock allowing for a radiography of the density distribution within large structures, like mountains or volcanoes. A

Non-destructive testing of industrial equipment using muon radiography. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
A new application of muon radiography (MR) is presented in the context of non-destructive testing of industrial equipment. The long-term operation of industrial facilities frequently involves the deterioration of critical components such as pipes and cauldrons due to corrosion and other processes.

Motivations for muon radiography of active volcanoes [PDF]

Earth, Planets and Space, 2010
Muon radiography represents an innovative tool for investigating the interior of active volcanoes. This method integrates the conventional geophysical techniques and provides an independent way to estimate the density of the volcano structure and reveal the presence of magma conduits. The experience from the pioneer experiments performed at Mt.

Muon radiography with the CMS Muon Barrel chambers [PDF]

2007 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, 2007
The drift tube chambers developed for the muon barrel system of the CMS experiment at CERN are large area detectors with 8 measurement points in one direction and 4 in the other; each point has a resolution of about 200 mum. We are using two of such chambers for muon radiography, i.e.

Optimizing geophysical muon radiography using information theory [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2019
SUMMARY Cosmic ray muons are highly penetrating, with some reaching several kilometres into solid rock. Consequently, muon detectors have been used to probe the interiors of large geological structures, by observing how the muon flux varies with direction of arrival. There is an increasing need to discriminate between materials differing

The MURAVES muon telescope: a low power consumption muon tracker for muon radiography applications [PDF]

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022
Muon Radiography or muography is based on the measurement of the absorption or scattering of cosmic muons, as they pass through the interior of large scale bodies, In particular, absorption muography has been applied to investigate the presence of hidden cavities inside the pyramids or underground, as well as the interior of volcanoes’ edifices.

Principles and Perspectives of Radiographic Imaging with Muons [PDF]

Journal of Imaging, 2021
Radiographic imaging with muons, also called Muography, is based on the measurement of the absorption of muons, generated by the interaction of cosmic rays with the earth’s atmosphere, in matter. Muons are elementary particles with high penetrating power,
