1. Assessing the rock density distribution of a volcano lava dome with a 4-panel scintillator-based muon detector

Mr Raphael Bajou (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris)

Data analysis and image reconstruction

Plenary talk

The intense hydrothermal activity occurring at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe, French Lesser Antilles, is a major concern for volcanologists at the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Guadeloupe (OVSG) and the local population that lives nearby. Partly hosted within the andesitic lava dome, this hydrothermal system, continuously fueled with meteoric waters, is indeed responsible for...

2. The MURAVES experiment : study of the Vesuvius Great Cone with Muon Radiography

Mariaelena D'Errico (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II & INFN)

Data analysis and image reconstruction

Plenary talk

The MURAVES experiment aims at the muographic imaging of
the internal structure of the summit of Mt. Vesuvius,
exploiting muons produced by cosmic rays.
Though presently quiescent, the volcano carries a dramatic
hazard in its highly populated surroundings. The
challenging measurement of the rock density distribution
in its summit by muography, in conjunction with data from
other...

9. Muon imaging and monitoring applied to hydrogeological studies at the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory, Switzerland

Data analysis and image reconstruction

Plenary talk

In this work we analyze the data sets of two muon imaging and monitoring experiments carried out using a portable muon detector conceived for geosciences applications at the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory (URL), Switzerland. This underground facility is located in the Jura Mountains in north-western Switzerland, at a depth of ~300 meters below the Earth's surface. The region hosts two...

17. Recent results from Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ work on muon tomography for nuclear security and safeguards

Oleg Kamaev (Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL))

Data analysis and image reconstruction

Plenary talk

During the last decade, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) has been accumulating considerable experience in the development of muon radiography techniques with a focus on potential applications for nuclear security and safeguards. A unique muon tomography system with the ability to measure muon momenta, the Cosmic Ray Inspection and Passive Tomography (CRIPT) detector, has been operational at...

25. Absorption muographic challenges on the surface

Gábor Nyitrai (Wigner RCP, Budapest)

Data analysis and image reconstruction

Plenary talk

Absorption muography has many applications, but it can typically be divided into two categories based on the detector location: underground or surface measurements. The latter case started in volcanological application, but nowadays multiple applications arise besides basic muographic researches e.g., archaeology, and building structural imaging. In my presentation, I would like to briefly...

32. Imaging and evaluation of defects in civil structures using Muon Scattering Tomography (MST)

Mr Sridhar Tripathy (SAHA INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS), Nayana Majumdar (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics), Supratik Mukhopadhyay (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (IN))

Data analysis and image reconstruction

Plenary talk

MST is a major non-destructive technique to detect high-atomic number (Z) and high-density (⍴) materials by finding the deviation in muon tracks. Both numerical simulation and experimental activities are being carried out towards assembling a gaseous ionization detector-based MST system at SINP. A prototype setup has been simulated using Geant4. Based on scattering parameters, an algorithm...
