Our simulation scheme considers three critical factors with different spatial and time scales: the geo- magnetic effects, the development of extensive air showers in the atmosphere, and the detector response at ground level. The muon energy dissipation along the path crossing the geological structure is mod- eled considering the losses due to ionization, and also contributions from radiative Bremßtrahlung, nuclear interactions, and pair production.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Muon imaging is one of the most promising non-invasive techniques for density struc- ture scanning, specially for large objects reaching the kilometre scale. It has already interesting applications in different fields like geophysics or nuclear safety and has been proposed for some others like engineering or archaeology. One of the approaches of this technique is based on the well-known radiography principle, by reconstructing the incident direction of the detected muons after crossing the studied objects. In this case, muons detected after a previous forward scattering on the object surface represent an irreducible background noise, leading to a bias on the mea- surement and consequently on the reconstruction of the object mean density.

  • Muon Absorption Tomography of a Lead Structure
    MUON ABSORPTION TOMOGRAPHY OF A LEAD STRUCTURE THROUGH THE USE OF ITERATIVE ALGORITHMS APREPRINT Guglielmo Baccani Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Florence P.zza S.Marco 4, 50121 Florence, Italy [email protected] National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) Unit of Florence Via Sansone 1, 50019 Sesto Fiorentino (FI), Italy October 27, 2020 ABSTRACT The muon radiography technique is part of the straight-ray scanning imaging methods and it is usually employed to produce two-dimensional images of the integrated density in the radial direction from the detector position. However, in the literature there are already some examples of muon tomographies made by combining several measurements from different observation points. The work presented in this article fits into this line of research: a tomography of a target composed of lead blocks arranged in a non-trivial geometry was carried out by means of muon absorption radiography measurements. To solve the inversion problem, an iterative algorithm called SART was employed, obtaining better results than using a Chi-squared minimization. Keywords Muon tomography · Muography · Computerized Tomography (CT) · Computed Radiography (CR) · Micropattern gaseous detectors (MICROMEGAS) · Particle tracking detectors (Gaseous detectors) 1 Muon radiography and scattering tomography Muon radiography (or muography) is a geophysical technique that allows to study the density and the atomic number of large dimension systems taking advantage of cosmic ray muons. The muon is an unstable lepton with a mean life of 2:2 µs and a mass 200 times greater than that of the electron 2 (mµ ≈ 106 MeV=c ). Muons are the most frequent charged particles from cosmic rays at the sea level, with a vertical flux of about 70 m−2 s−1sr−1 for energies greater than 1 GeV [1, chapter 30.3].

The General Directorate for Drug Control received information about a dealer bringing in drugs to distribute it in the country, the ministry’s security media department said in a statement, noting that the sup- plier was immediately arrested after the information was confirmed. The accused confessed that he had a place containing a laboratory to prepare the ‘Spice’ drug, the statement said, adding that a large amount of drugs was seized. The accused also admitted that he was preparing orders of nar- cotics to sell to a European country. He added that he used names of cosmetics on these orders to disguise the drugs. Interior Ministry Undersecretary Lt Gen Suleiman Al-Fahd conveyed greetings of Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah to the directorate’s staff for their prominent and outstanding efforts in arresting the suppliers of narcotics.

  • Results from the First Measurements Campaign in the Bent Pyramid
    Press Release Cairo, April 27th 2016 #ScanPyramids – Results from the first measurements campaign in the Bent Pyramid Tuesday April 26th, The #ScanPyramids team presented to The Minister of Antiquities, Dr. Khaled El-Enany, to the former minister of Antiquities Dr. Mamdouh El Damaty and to the members of the permanent Committee of Egyptian Antiquities the results of its first muography mission done on the Bent Pyramid. The principle of this new innovative technology: Get an inside radiography of the monument thanks to muons, cosmic particles that are permanently and naturally raining on earth and are able to penetrate any material very deeply. In December 2015 a team from Nagoya University (Japan) installed in the lower chamber of the pyramid a setup consisting in 40 plates covering a total area of 3.5 m². Each plate contained 2 muon sensitive films. This setup was retrieved in January 2016 after 40 days of exposure – corresponding to the maximal lifetime of chemical emulsions within the temperature and humidity conditions inside the pyramid. These films were then developed in a dedicated lab installed at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), and shipped to Nagoya University for analysis. From these plates, more than 10 Millions of muon tracks were reconstructed, with a spectacular result: for the first time ever, the internal structure of a pyramid was revealed with muon particles. The images obtained indeed show the second chamber of the pyramid, located roughly 18 meters above the lower one in which emulsions plates were installed. The available statistics from the 40 days of exposure is not yet sufficient to precisely reveal the known corridors.

  • Khufu's Pyramid
    Press Release Cairo, June 7th 2016 #ScanPyramids team deploys Muons detectors at Giza in order to “scan” Khufu’s Pyramid Having been able to demonstrate the efficiency of Muons technology at the Bent Pyramid in Dahshour (http://www.hip.institute/press/HIP_INSTITUTE_CP7_EN.pdf) the international #ScanPyramids team lead by the Faculty of Engineering - Cairo University, and the HIP Institute (www.hip.institute) is now deploying Muon non-destructive technology at Giza plateau aiming at performing a full “scan” of the Great Pyramid. The #ScanPyramids project is currently “scanning” the Great Pyramid of Giza using three different techniques as described in the following video www.vimeo.com/hipinstitute/muons): - The first technique is based on chemical emulsions made by Nagoya University (Japan) and placed inside the Great Pyramid at different places (Queen Chamber, Queen Chamber Niche, Lower Chamber). In total, 80 emulsion films will be exposed to Muons natural flow during 40 days before a long period of analysis. - The second technique is employing gas electronic detectors specially fabricated by the CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), and were placed outside the great pyramid. The “Alhazen” and “Alvarez” detectors will be running for a whole month of calibration in order to detect known voids, and then will be pointed to specific targets trying to identify unknown voids. A third detector will also be used in the next days. - The third technique is based on plastic electronic scintillator conceived and made by the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK – Japan) which is planned to be placed inside the Queen Chamber in July.

  • MUON RADIOGRAPHY – MUON TOMOGRAPHY Despina Hatzifotiadou INFN Bologna, Italy
    MUON RADIOGRAPHY – MUON TOMOGRAPHY Despina Hatzifotiadou INFN Bologna, Italy IPPOG Working Group Applications for Society 6.5.2020 19th IPPOG Meeting The Principle Muon radiography is a technique that uses information on the absorption of cosmic ray muons to measure the thickness of the materials crossed by the muons. Muon radiography tracks the number of muons that pass through the target volume to determine the density on the inaccessible internal structure, and in this way find empty spaces. It is similar to imaging with X-rays but can survey much larger objects. Since muons are less likely to interact, stop and decay in low density matter than high density matter, a larger number of muons will travel through the low density regions of target objects in comparison to higher density regions. It finds applications in many domains: geology – study of volcanoes Primary cosmic rays, consisting archeology – study of pyramids and tombs mainly of protons and a small Industry – study of large volumes (trucks, Fukushima reactor etc) percentage of heavier nuclei, interact in the earth’s atmosphere producing showers; muons, the decay products of pions, are higly penetrative and reach us ; 10000 muons/(minute m2) hit the ground; typically one muon per second goes through a surface the size of our hand; 600 muons cross our body every minute. 6.5.2020 19th IPPOG Meeting Pyramids Muon radiography was first used in 1971 to investigate the pyramid of Chefrten, in Giza, Egypt by Nobel laureate Luis Alvarez. Spark chambers were used. He found no evidence of void. The ScanPyramids mission found a big void in the Great Pyramid (Khufu’s Pyramid), above the Grand Gallery (Nature, 2017).

  • 3D Muography for the Search of Hidden Cavities

High energy muons are naturally produced in the interactions of cosmic rays with the Earth atmosphere. The measurement of their absorption in matter allows the imaging of the inner structure of large bodies. The technological developments in the detection of elementary particles have opened the way to its application in various felds, such as archaeology, studies of geological structures, civil engineering and security issues. We have developed a new approach to the three-dimensional muography of underground structures, capable of directly localising hidden cavities and of reconstructing their shape in space. Our measurements at Mt. Echia, the site of the earliest settlement of the city of Naples in the 8th century BC, have led us to the discovery of a hidden underground cavity, whose existence was not evident with the usual two-dimensional muography graphs. We demonstrate here that our original approach defnitely enhances muography discovery potential, especially in case of complex underground systems.
