Muon tomography - Wikipedia
Muon tomography or muography is a technique that uses cosmic ray muons to generate two or three-dimensional images of volumes using information contained in the Coulomb scattering of the muons.
Muon tomography in geoscientific research - ScienceDirect
2021年11月1日 · Generally speaking, muon tomography is used to reconstruct the geometry of an internal structure of a (geological) body of interest that is penetrated by muons. The muon flux is attenuated upon penetrating the target body, and the muons are registered on a detector.
Muon imaging: Principles, technologies and applications
2018年1月11日 · During the last 15 years muon-based imaging, or muography, has experienced an impressive development and has found applications in many different fields requiring penetrating probes.
3D Muography for the Search of Hidden Cavities
2019年2月27日 · Muography (or muon radiography) is a technique that exploits the penetration capability of muons, elementary particles similar to electrons but with a mass about 200 times larger. High energy...
Radiographic imaging with cosmic-ray muons - Nature
2003年3月20日 · Here we show that natural background muons, which are generated by cosmic rays and are highly penetrating, can be used for radiographic imaging of medium-to-large, dense objects, without these...
Muon Imaging: How Cosmic Rays Help Us See Inside Pyramids …
2023年4月14日 · Muon imaging is a non-invasive technique which uses cosmic ray particles, called muons, to see inside solid objects, detecting changes in density and composition, and therefore enabling scientists to create 3D models of their interiors.
Muography - Nature Reviews Methods Primers
2023年11月23日 · Cosmic-ray muons have strong penetrating power and a relativistic nature, which means they can be used in a range of technologies, including imagery; positioning, navigation, timing (PNT);...
Muon Tomography | CMS Experiment - CERN
Scientists today are finding ways to put these particles to use. One technique called Muon Scattering Tomography (MST) uses cosmic ray muons to construct three-dimensional models of the densities of obstructed objects or volumes.
Muon Imaging - IAEA
This publication describes some of the main muon imaging techniques, the detector types involved, and a wide variety of applications that have been identified from examination of modern and ancient built environments, volcanology, industry to nuclear security and safeguards.
Muography offers a new way to see inside a multitude of objects
2021年3月31日 · Muography offers many advantages over conventional scanning approaches. Muons penetrate much further than X-rays, they do essentially zero damage, and they are provided for free by the cosmos. These characteristics open up some extraordinary possibilities.
