“…The material characteristics and thickness of the construction walls are not known, and a preliminary simulation of muon passing through the building and their www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing detectors can be arranged inside the object so that to scan it completely ( Figure 2). Registration of muons in solid angles indicated in Figure 2 was carried out by track detectors, made of layers of double-sided nuclear emulsion films of 10 × 12.5 cm 2 [15,16]. In total, five emulsion detectors were used in this experiment: four wall-oriented detectors, and one directed upwards to measure the vertical muon flux.…”

Muon Radiography Method for Non-Invasive Probing an Archaeological Site in the Naryn-Kala Citadel

et al. 2019

The paper presents the test experiment to investigate one of UNESCO’s (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) world heritage objects, an archaeological site in the Naryn-Kala citadel (Derbent, Republic of Dagestan, Russian Federation) hidden under the ground’s surface. The function of the site could be revealed by the muon radiography studies. Several nuclear emulsion detectors were exposed for two months inside the site at a depth about 10 m from the modern surface. The use of nuclear emulsions as probing radiation detectors combined with the potential of modern image analysis methods provides for a uniquely high resolution capacity of recording instrumentation and 3D reconstruction of the internal structure of the investigated object. Here we present the experiment and data analysis details and the first results.
