Muon tomography in geoscientific research – A guide to best practice [PDF]

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
The use of muon tomography in geoscience projects has been continuously increasing over the past few years. This led to a variety of applications that often use custom-tailored solutions for data acquisition and processing.

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

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 ...

Going Beyond Gaussian Muon Tomography

Muon tomography is a technique that aims to reconstruct the internal composition of an unknown volume by analyzing the trajectories of muons which traverse it. We propose to extend the reference method of analysis (Schultz et al., 2007) by using a mixture of two Gaussian distributions to better capture the heavy tails observed in the distribution of ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
