Atmospheric and Geodesic Controls of Muon Rates: A Numerical Study for Muography Applications
Instruments, 2022 Muon tomography or muography is an innovative imaging technique using atmospheric muons. The technique is based on the detection of muons that have crossed a target and the measurement of their attenuation or deviation induced by the medium.
