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

Beyond SMAP: Can GNSS‐R Platforms Ensure Continuity of Global Soil Moisture Observations?

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The absence of a definitive follow‐on strategy for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, which has already surpassed its planned mission lifetime, presents a significant challenge for the hydrological science community. GNSS‐Reflectometry (GNSS‐R), which exploits reflected satellite navigation signals, has emerged as a rapidly ...

Muons tomography applied to geosciences and volcanology [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2012
Imaging the inner part of large geological targets is an important issue in geosciences with various applications. Dif- ferent approaches already exist (e.g. gravimetry, electrical tomography) that give access to a wide range of informations but with identified limitations or drawbacks (e.g.

Evaluating Fragmentation Detection in Block Caves Using Synthetic Muon Tomography

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 7, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Muon tomography is a geophysical imaging technique with growing application across a range of geological and industrial settings. By observing the arrival of naturally occurring muons, it is possible to reconstruct subsurface density distributions in three dimensions.

A novel technique to detect special nuclear material using cosmic rays [PDF]

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2012
Resistive plate chambers (RPCs) are widely used in high energy physics for both tracking and triggering purposes, due to their excellent time resolution, rate capability, and good spatial resolution. RPCs can be produced cost-effectively on large scales,

Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, complements conventional X‐ray CT and enables the detection of hydrous ...

Middle‐Atmosphere Dynamics Observed With a Portable Muon Detector

Earth and Space Science, 2019
In the past years, large particle physics experiments have shown that muon rate variations detected in underground laboratories are sensitive to regional, middle‐atmosphere temperature variations.

Impact of Disorder on Microscopic Superconducting and Normal‐State Responses in a Kagome Metal

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 68, 24 August 2026.
Using depth‐resolved, field‐ and pressure‐dependent μSR$\umu{\rm SR}$ measurements, we show that disorder in Ta‐doped KV3Sb5 drives a crossover from nodal to nodeless superconductivity while strongly modifying the normal‐state magnetic response. Our results reveal that disorder affects superconductivity and magnetism in fundamentally different ways ...
