Muon radiography to visualise individual fuel rods in sealed casks

open access: yesEPJ 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.

Muon tomography for railway tunnel imaging

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
Cosmic ray muon radiography utilizes highly penetrating cosmic ray muons to image the density profile of an object of interest. Here we report on a trial to use a portable field-deployable cosmic ray muon tracking system in order to image the whole ...

A novel technique to detect special nuclear material using cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2012
Resistive plate chambers (RPCs) are widely used in high energy physics for both tracking and triggering purposes, due to their excellent time resolution, rate capability, and good spatial resolution. RPCs can be produced cost-effectively on large scales,

Atmospheric Temperature Effect in Secondary Cosmic Rays Observed With a 2 m2 Ground‐Based tRPC Detector

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020
Abstract A high time resolution 2 m2 tracking detector, based on timing Resistive Plate Chamber (tRPC) cells, has been installed at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in order to improve our understanding of the cosmic rays arriving at the Earth's surface.
