In recent decades, muon imaging has found a plethora of applications in many fields. This technique succeeds to infer the density distribution big inaccessible structures where conventional techniques cannot be used. The requirements different demand specific implementations image reconstruction algorithms for either multiple scattering or absorption-transmission data analysis, as well noise-suppression filters and momentum estimators. paper presents successful results applied simulated some...
We demonstrate that muon tomography can be used to precisely measure the properties of various materials. The materials which have been considered extracted from an experimental blast furnace, including carbon (coke) and iron oxides, for measurements linear scattering density relative mass performed with absolute precision 10%. report procedures are in order obtain such precision, a discussion is presented address expected performance technique when applied heavier results we do not depend...
The muon tomography technique, based on the multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic ray muons, has been proposed recently as a tool to perform non-destructive assays large volume objects without any radiation hazard. In this paper we present experimental results obtained with scanning system prototype, assembled using two area CMS Muon Barrel drift chambers. imaging capability apparatus is shown, and possibility discriminate among different materials discussed in specific case detecting lead...
The muon tomography technique, based on multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic ray muons, has been proposed as a tool to detect the presence high density objects inside closed volumes. In this paper new and innovative method is presented handle fluctuations (noise) reconstructed images, well known problem technique. effectiveness our evaluated using experimental data obtained with prototype located at Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL) Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). results...
The accidental melting of radioactive sources hidden inside metal scrap containers can produce severe environmental harm. Modern facilities are equipped with portals measuring radiation levels. Nonetheless, pass undiscovered when shielded shells high density material, such as lead. From time to indeed some undetected through the controls at foundries entrance. Once molten they caused enormous damages steel mills, contaminating all production line. muon tomography technique allows...
The drift tube chambers developed for the muon barrel system of CMS experiment at CERN are large area detectors with 8 measurement points in one direction and 4 other; each point has a resolution about 200 mum. We using two such radiography, i.e. detection imaging material high atomic number Z through multiple scattering cosmic- ray muons crossing itself. self- triggered, trigger electronics experiment. Such technique might be applied example cargo container inspection searching high-Z...
Muon tomography was recently proposed as a tool to inspect large volumes with the purpose of recognizing high density materials immersed in lower matrices. The MU-STEEL European project (RFCS-CT-2010-000033) studied application such technique detect radioactive source shielding truck containers filled scrap metals entering steel mill foundries. A description muon technique, and obtained results will be presented.
Cosmic ray radiation is mostly composed, at sea level, by high energy muons, which are highly penetrating particles capable of crossing kilometers rock. constituted the first source projectiles used to investigate intimate structure matter and currently largely for particle detector test calibration. The ubiquitous steady presence Earth's surface penetration capability has motivated use cosmic also in fields beyond physics, from geological archaeological studies industrial applications civil...
