Momentum-Dependent Cosmic Ray Muon Computed Tomography Using a Fieldable Muon Spectrometer
Energies, 2022 Cosmic ray muon tomography has been recently explored as a non-destructive technique for monitoring or imaging dense well-shielded objects, classically not achievable with traditional tomographic methods. As a recent example of technology transition from

Application of muon tomography to fuel cask monitoring. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018 Long-term monitoring of spent fuel stored in dry cask storage is currently achieved through the use of seals and surveillance. Muon tomography can provide direct imaging that may be useful in cases where what is known as Continuity of Knowledge (CoK) has been lost using the former methods.

Design and characterization of a Muon tomography system for spent nuclear fuel monitoring
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022 In recent years, monitoring of spent nuclear fuel inside dry cask storage has become an important area of national security. Muon tomography is a useful method for monitoring spent nuclear fuel because it uses high energy muons that penetrate deep into ...

Muon tomography: looking inside dangerous places. [PDF]
Sci Prog, 2015 Muons In 1936, during a study of cosmic radiation at Caltech, Carl D. Anderson and Seth Neddermeyer detected negatively charged particles whose trajectories in a magnetic field curved less acutely than those of electrons but more acutely than for protons (1).

A Comparison of Neural Networks and Center of Gravity in Muon Hit Position Estimation [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The performance of cosmic-ray tomography systems is largely determined by their tracking accuracy. With conventional scintillation detector technology, good precision can be achieved with a small pitch between the elements of the detector array ...
