Description
The LouMu collaboration started developing transmission muography in 2019 with a Resistive Plate Chambers detector built by LIP. In its first campaign, the detector acquired data at various positions of the Physics Department building of the University of Coimbra. There, the detector acquired data at various locations at the Physics Department building. At each of these, the detector’s efficiency was monitored and non-uniformities were corrected. To assess the quality of the images, they were compared with simulated muographs. For this simulation 3 main aspects were considered: the detector’s geometry, the model of the building and the conversion of matter traversed to transmission. The simulated and experimental transmission maps were in accordance. This, in turn, propelled the use of the 2D muographs for three-dimensional reconstruction of the building setting. The goal was, then, to retrieve information on the depth at which the observed structures were localized and what were their absolute dimensions.
