Muon scattering tomography: review

Applied Optics, 2022
Cosmic-ray muon scattering tomography has gathered attention in the security and nuclear industries in the last 10 years. Muon scattering tomography is capable of identifying atomic numbers of objects, is highly sensitivity to high-atomic-number materials such as uranium, and is very useful for detecting them in a background of low-atomic-number ...

Muon tomography and volcanoes study

Giornale di Fisica, 2023
Space-time visualization of the volcanoes internal density composition improves the understanding of underlying volcanic processes and the volcanic hazards assessment. Muography is an innovative imaging technique using cosmic-ray muons which are elementary particles naturally produced in the atmosphere. They are highly penetrating particles and some of

Statistical Reconstruction for Cosmic Ray Muon Tomography

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2007
Highly penetrating cosmic ray muons constantly shower the earth at a rate of about 1 muon per cm2 per minute. We have developed a technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb scattering of these particles to perform nondestructive inspection without the use of artificial radiation.

Cosmic Muon Images: a muon tomography citizen science project

2022
<p>Muon tomography has witnessed significant growth during the last decade with volcanology being the main driving force behind this great success. Many sites around the world are currently studied and many new ideas concerning R&D, potential new targets and data analysis techniques are brought to light.

Muon tomography for the analysis of in-container vitrified products

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2020
Alternate treatment routes for radioactive waste are a key research area for much of the nuclear industry, with potentially significant savings available through volume reduction of waste. Achieving this requires a full and demonstrable understanding of waste product behaviour.

Cosmic ray muon tomography

Science and Technology of Engineering, Chemistry and Environmental Protection
This study explores the application of cosmic ray muon tomography. It analyzes how cosmic ray detection can be used to obtain the shape and structure of absorber obstacle. We designed an experiment to obtain cosmic ray muon data with and without absorber.

Development of a 3D muon disappearance algorithm for muon scattering tomography

Journal of Instrumentation, 2015
Upon passing through a material, muons lose energy, scatter off nuclei and atomic electrons, and can stop in the material. Muons will more readily lose energy in higher density materials. Therefore multiple muon disappearances within a localized volume may signal the presence of high-density materials.

Artifacts in muon-tomography

Muon-tomography is a rapidly evolving technique whis is widely and increasingly used in geology, geotechnics, and archaeology.The method provides an approximate 3D density distribution of the object under investigation (scanned), which is inherently loaded with artifacts.

The Muon Portal Project: Development of an innovative scanning portal based on muon tomography

2013 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation, Measurement Methods and their Applications (ANIMMA), 2013
The Muon Portal is a recent Project [1] which aims at the construction of a 18 m2 tracking detector for cosmic muons. This apparatus has been designed as a real-size prototype to inspect containers using the muon tomography technique, i.e. by measuring the deflection of muons when traversing high-Z materials.

The Muon Portal Project: Design and construction of a scanning portal based on muon tomography

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2017
Abstract Cosmic ray tomography is a technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb scattering of highly penetrating cosmic ray-produced muons to perform non-destructive inspection of high-Z materials without the use of artificial radiation. A muon tomography detection system can be used as a portal monitor at border crossing points for detecting ...
