An experiment of muon radiography at Mt Etna (Italy) [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2013 Interactions of conduit geometry with gas–liquid flows control volcanic activity, implying that the evaluation of volcanic hazards requires quantitative understanding of the inner structure of the volcano. The more established geophysical imaging techniques suffer from inherent ambiguity, may require spatially dense measurements in active areas and may

Muon Radiography Investigations in Boreholes with a Newly Designed Cylindrical Detector [PDF]
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 ...

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.

A novel cylindrical detector for borehole muon radiography. [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022 Muography (or muon radiography) is a recent imaging methodology that uses cosmic muons to investigate the mass distribution in large objects, such as volcanoes or mines, or to detect the presence of cavities in the subsoil or within buildings such as the pyramids.

Muon radiography to visualise individual fuel rods in sealed casks [PDF]
EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2021 Cosmic-ray muons can be used for the non-destructive imaging of spent nuclear fuel in sealed dry storage casks. The scattering data of the muons after traversing provides information on the thereby penetrated materials.
