A Detector for Muon Tomography
This report describes the conceptual design of a particle detector that could be deployed underground for tracking cosmic-ray muons to enable tomographic reconstruction of the overlying ground and structures. The concept of cosmic-ray muon tomography has been known for a long time but seldom used in practice since the first demonstration. Developments in technology and methods of particle detec...
متن کاملCalculation of Source-detector Solid Angle, Using Monte Carlo Method, for Radioactive Sources with Various Geometries and Cylindrical Detector
In this paper source-detector solid angle calculation has been studied by Monte Carlo method, and a computer program is represented. Since most experimental works in nuclear physics are done by using of cylindrical detectors, the solid angle of this type of detector is calculated for various sources. The source in various shapes of a point, cylinder, sphere, or rectangle, may be located in any ...
متن کاملMuon Density Measurements with the KASCADE Central Detector
Frequency distributions of local muon densities in high-energy extensive air-showers (EAS) are presented as signature of the primary cosmic ray energy spectrum in the knee region. Together with the gross shower variables like shower core position, angle of incidence, and the shower sizes, the KASCADE experiment is able to measure local muon densities for two different muon energy thresholds. Th...
متن کاملElectron Capture Detector with Non-Radioactive Electron Source
Gas chromatographs equipped with electron capture detectors (ECD) are widely used for the analysis of electron affine substances. Achieving limits of detection in the low pptv-range, electron capture detectors are the most sensitive detectors available for such compounds. Based on their operating principle, they require free electrons at atmospheric pressure, which are usually generated by usin...
متن کاملInvestigating the capability of plastic scintillation detectors in design of a muon radiography system by Geant4 code
Imaging and identifying materials with high atomic numbers and densities, especially radioactive materials, is one of the issues that have been especially considered in recent years. Due to some limitations in conventional and old imaging techniques, finding an alternative method is very important. The cosmic muons with an infinite source are one of the sources that have been recently studied f...
