Simulation: Imaging and Muon Tomography
- Cecilia Uribe Estrada (Autonomous University of Puebla (MX))
High energy cosmic ray muons are a suitable source for imaging larger and denser materials due to their high penetration power and considerably large life time (~2.2 μs). We plan to build an imaging setup for material identification utilizing the Coulomb scattering of cosmic ray muons due to their interaction with the materials and tracking their trajectories with RPCs. To begin with, we...
Point of colsest Approche algorithm (PoCA) based on the formalism of muon radiography using the Multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) as information source is previously used to obtain the reconstruction images of high Z materials. The low accuracy of reconstruction image is caused by two factors: the flux of natural muon and the assumption of single scattering in PoCA algorithm. In this paper,...
In recent years, the cosmic-ray muon imaging technique has been widely used in industrial practical application, such as the nuclear reactor monitoring and the container internal scanning. However, it is restricted by the lagging imaging algorithm technology, resulting in poor image quality and time-consuming. In our study, a cosmic-ray imaging system of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) has been...
