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

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

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,

Laser based 100 GeV electron acceleration scheme for muon production [PDF]

Scientific Reports
High energy muons, due to their unique ability to penetrate deeply into matter, can enable radiography of structures that cannot be probed by other forms of radiation.

Development of muon radiography system using a three-layer muon tracker

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
Cosmic-ray muon radiography has been utilized as a tool for the non-destructive testing (NDT) method for evaluating internal density distributions and structural integrity in large-scale and high-density structures.

Advanced muon radiography with compact accelerator system [PDF]

Proc Jpn Acad Ser B Phys Biol Sci, 2004
By using a well-defined mono-energetic, pencil-like, high-energy and intense muon beam, one can realize, via simultaneous measurements of energy-loss and multiple-scattering, a quick and element-selective radiography to detect e.g. a few kg of U which is shielded in a thick Fe container or hidden within 2-3 m of low-Z material.

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.

Experiments on muon radiography with emulsion track detectors

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 ...
