Muon tomography - ready for practical application?

e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
Muon tomography uses naturally occurring nuclear particles to 'X-ray' technical objects. It has applications in security and nuclear safeguards, but not yet in civil engineering.

The effect of rock composition on muon tomography measurements [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2018
In recent years, the use of radiographic inspection with cosmic-ray muons has spread into multiple research and industrial fields. This technique is based on the high-penetration power of cosmogenic muons.

Muon Tomography for Carbon Storage and Monitoring

, 2015
Levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide could be reduced through CO\(_2\) capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Careful characterisation and management of storage sites will prevent leakages, but monitoring is required to track the migration of CO\(_2\) during the injection, emplacement and storage phases. In this paper, we present muon tomography which

The Application of Muon Tomography to Carbon Storage Monitoring

Proceedings, 2014
Post-injection monitoring of stored super-critical carbon dioxide will play a crucial role in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry. To date a number of monitoring methods have been proposed such as repeat seismic surveys. The application of a technique known as muon tomography is discussed.
