Laser-driven muon production for material inspection and imaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2023
We numerically show that laser-wakefield accelerated electron beams obtained using a PetaWatt-scale laser system can produce high-flux sources of relativistic muons that are suitable for radiographic applications.

Potential of combined neutron and X‐ray imaging to quantify local carbon contents in soil

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 73, Issue 1, January–February 2022., 2022
Abstract In this study, we investigated the potential and limitations of using joint X‐ray and time‐of‐flight (TOF) neutron imaging for mapping the 3‐dimensional organic carbon distribution in soil. This approach is viable because neutron and X‐ray beams have complementary attenuation properties.

Development and operation of a muon detection system under extremely high humidity environment for monitoring underground water table [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2013
In order to investigate the complex nature of landslides triggered by rainfall, dynamic muon radiography of the motion of the underground water table is planned in a drainage tunnel drilled underneath an estimated fault plane.

Pattern, style and timing of British–Irish Ice Sheet retreat: Shetland and northern North Sea sector

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 681-722, July 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The offshore sector around Shetland remains one of the least well‐studied parts of the former British–Irish Ice Sheet with several long‐standing scientific issues unresolved. These key issues include (i) the dominance of a locally sourced ‘Shetland ice cap’ vs an invasive Fennoscandian Ice Sheet; (ii) the flow configuration and style of ...

Pattern, style and timing of British–Irish Ice Sheet advance and retreat over the last 45 000 years: evidence from NW Scotland and the adjacent continental shelf

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 871-933, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Predicting the future response of ice sheets to climate warming and rising global sea level is important but difficult. This is especially so when fast‐flowing glaciers or ice streams, buffered by ice shelves, are grounded on beds below sea level. What happens when these ice shelves are removed?

The MICE Muon Beam on ISIS and the beam-line instrumentation of the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), which is under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), will demonstrate the principle of ionization cooling as a technique for the reduction of the phase-space volume occupied

Target Optimisation Studies for Surface Muon Production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The current paper discusses possible designs for a stand alone muon target for MuSR studies of condensed matter science. Considering the ISIS 7 mm graphite target as a reference, Geant4 simulations have been performed in order to optimize the target ...

Geometry Optimization of the ISIS Muon Target [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
ISIS is the world’s most successful pulsed spallation neutron source that provides beams of neutrons and muons that enable scientists to study the properties of the matter at the atomic level.

Fast Simulation Study of Muon Absorption Radiography Based on Energy Loss Calculation

open access: yesYuanzineng kexue jishu, 2022
Using natural cosmic ray muon as radiation source, muon absorption radiography can realize nondestructive detection of large-scale geological objects. Simulation analysis is an important step in the application of muon absorption radiography.
