Description

缪子成像技术在考古与矿藏勘探中的应用
Muography has unique advantages for imaging large targets. We have developed the first mass-produced plastic scintillator-based muon imaging system in China, with a detection efficiency of nearly 98% and a positional resolution of about 2.5 mm. Based on detectors, we have completed the first technical validation for archaeological and mineral exploration in China. Through the Muography, we reconstructed the low-density region between the wall bricks and rammed earth on the north side of the city wall and the power distribution room above the city wall. Meanwhile, the reconstruction results of the Zaozigou gold mine determined the distribution of lode and goaf These works will be of great significance to the Muography in the field of cultural relics protection and mineral exploration.
