Abstract:A recent example of successful technology transition from high energy physics to practical engineering applications is cosmic ray muon tomography. Cosmic ray muon tomography, is a promising non-destructive technique that has been recently utilized to monitor or image the contents of dense or well shielded objects, typically not feasible with conventional radiography techniques, e.g., x-ray or neutron. Cosmic ray muon tomography has been used with various levels of success in spent nuclear fuel monitoring, volc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
