“…There are two main principles for muography: scattering method [13][14][15] and attenuation method [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The former method can also identify atomic number roughly, however an object to be measured have to be placed between two muon trackers.…”

“…be applied to predict volcano eruption [4]. In these days, this study has evolved enormously by Tanaka et al The detector system for volcano muography has been developed and a few volcanos were actually measured [5][6][7][8][9]. In 2010, Morishima and Nakano developed an automatic nuclear emulsion scanning system (S-UTS) [10] and the nuclear emulsion technique became also used for muography [11,12].…”

We have developed a prototype portable muography detector and applied it to measurement of zenith and azimuth angular differential fluxes of cosmic-ray muons on the ground. The detector system was operated stably and the obtained angular fluxes were consistent with the well-known ones. This result demonstrated that the prototype detector has basic performance for muography after careful realignment.

The passage of muons through matter is dominated by the Coulomb interaction with electrons and nuclei. The muon interaction with electrons leads to continuous energy loss and stopping of the muons. The muon interaction with nuclei leads to angular diffusion. We present experimental images of a nuclear reactor, the AGN-201M reactor at the University of New Mexico, using data measured with a particle tracker built from a set of sealed drift tubes. The data are compared with a geant4 model. In both the data and simulation, we identify specific regions corresponding to elements of the reactor structure, including its core, moderator, and shield.

The passage of muons through matter is mostly affected by their Coulomb interactions with electrons and nuclei. The muon interactions with electrons lead to continuous energy loss and stopping of muons, while their scattering off nuclei lead to angular "diffusion". By measuring both the number of stopped muons and angular changes in muon trajectories we can estimate density and identify materials. Here we demonstrate the material identification using data taken at Los Alamos with the Mini Muon Tracker.
