THE APPLICATION OF MUON TOMOGRAPHY TO SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDING IN GEOLOGICAL REPOSITORIES

, 2022
Muon tomography is a technique that harnesses naturally occurring cosmic radiation to perform non-invasive andnon-destructive imaging of otherwise inaccessible objects.

Muon tomography for cultural heritage objects

Journal of Applied Physics
Cultural heritage conservation increasingly relies on non-destructive techniques and imaging methods based on the absorption or scattering of photons (X or γ-rays) or neutrons. While these techniques offer excellent imaging capabilities and material identification, their penetration depth becomes insufficient for large or dense objects, such as compact

Position-sensitive detector based on plastic scintillator for muon tomography

, 2015
The analysis of the different models of a plastic position-sensitive detector construction for muon tomography is discussed. The key feature of the detectors is the ability of, a passive registration of ionizing radiation from the inspected object.

TomOpt: differential optimisation for task- and constraint-aware design of particle detectors in the context of muon tomography

Machine Learning: Science and Technology
We describe a software package, TomOpt, developed to optimise the geometrical layout and specifications of detectors designed for tomography by scattering of cosmic-ray muons.

Simulation and reconstruction algorithms for a commercial muon tomography system [PDF]

, 2018
Muon tomography has become a great imaging technique and nowadays is applied in several research fields. It is used to produce images of nuclear reactors, to determine the volcanic activity or even to search secret chambers inside Egypt's pyramids.

3D Reconstruction of a Nuclear Reactor by Muon Tomography: Structure Validation and Anomaly Detection

PRX Energy
Muon tomography is a consolidated technique to investigate the internal components of high-opacity objects. With the use of detectors with high angular and spatial resolution (usually referred to as “muon telescopes”), the track reconstruction of the ...

Discrimination of drugs and explosives in cargo inspections by applying machine learning in muon tomography

, 2018
A previously under-explored difficulty in cargo inspections is how to efficiently detect drugs and explosives concealed in large dense metals. Cosmic ray muon tomography is a promising non-destructive imaging technique to solve the problem because muons ...
