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

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.

The Thermal Plumbing System of Stromboli Volcano, Aeolian Islands (Italy) Inferred From Electrical Conductivity and Induced Polarization Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract We performed the first 3D island‐scale tomography of the electrical conductivity of Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy) using 2D acquisition lines (37.2 km) and a total of 18,880 measurements and 2,402 unique electrode locations. This 3D data set was inverted using a Gauss‐Newton algorithm, parallel‐processing on an unstructured ...

Muon radiography with the CMS Muon Barrel chambers

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.

The use of muon radiography in safeguarding geological repositories [PDF]

Safety of Nuclear Waste Disposal, 2021
Abstract. Muon radiography is a technique that harnesses naturally occurring cosmic radiation to noninvasively determine the density of an object of interest. The technique has many similarities to that of medical X-ray examinations and can supply detailed density maps of the object. We propose the application of muon radiography to aspects of the long-

Muon Imaging of Volcanic Conduit Explains Link Between Eruption Frequency and Ground Deformation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 2, 28 January 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding the physical mechanism of ground deformation at a volcano supports the use of deformation data as a monitoring tool. An inverse correlation was observed between eruption frequency and ground deformation of Sakurajima volcano from November 2018 to April 2021.

Muon Radiography Investigations in Boreholes with a Newly Designed Cylindrical Detector

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 ...

Interpreting muon radiographic data in a fault zone: possible application to geothermal reservoir detection and monitoring [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2013
Rainfall-triggered fluid flow in a mechanical fracture zone associated with a seismic fault has been estimated (Tanaka et al., 2011) using muon radiography by measuring the water position over time in response to rainfall events. In this report, the data
