    Scattering muon tomography leverages the multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic-ray muons to image the internal structure of dense or shielded objects. Unlike transmission-based methods that rely on muon attenuation, scattering tomography measures angular deviations to infer the presence and composition of high-Z materials with high sensitivity. This presentation provides an overview of key...

    Inverse problems like magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography, optical inverse rendering or muon tomography, amongst others, occur in a vast range of scientific, medical and security applications and are usually solved with highly specific algorithms depending on the task.
    Approaching these problems from a physical perspective and reformulating them as a function of particle...

    Applications in Muon Tomography
    Talk

    Muon scattering tomography is a well-established, non-invasive imaging technique using cosmic-ray muons.
    Simple algorithms, such as PoCA (Point of Closest Approach), are often utilized to reconstruct the volume of interest from the observed muon tracks.
    However, it is preferable to apply more advanced reconstruction algorithms to efficiently use the sparse statistics available.
    One approach...

    Applications in Muon Tomography
    Talk

    In the civil engineering industry, there is an increasing demand for innovative non-destructive evaluation methods. Muography is an emerging non-invasive technique that constructs three-dimensional density maps by detecting the interactions of naturally occurring cosmic-ray muons within the scanned volume. While muons can penetrate deep into structures, their low flux results in long...

  5. 148. Bias Reduction Using Expectation Maximization in the Optimization of an AI-Assisted Muon Tomography System
    Marta de la Puente Santos
    Talk

    Muon tomography is a powerful imaging technique that leverages cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal structure of large-scale objects. However, traditional reconstruction methods, such as the Point of Closest Approach (POCA), introduce significant bias, leading to suboptimal image quality and inaccurate material characterization. To address this issue, we propose an approach based on...
