Oral Contribution

ABSTRACT: Since 2008, Tsinghua University has been developing Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) for the muon tomography. In 2012, we setup TUMUTY (Tsinghua University cosmic ray Muon tomography facility) based on MRPC and got some reconstruction imaging results. The RPC-type detector developed for position resolution started in 2003. T. Francke built the first position resolution RPC...

Oral Contribution

Cosmic ray muons are created by high energy primary cosmic radiations, mostly made of protons when striking the Earth's atmosphere. Besides the common use of secondary cosmic rays in nuclear and elementary particle physics for detector testing and calibration and for the alignment of detectors in the very complex apparata used in this field, cosmic muons have also been considered since several...

Oral Contribution

Imaging techniques that use atmospheric muons, collectively named under the neologism "muography", have seen a tremendous growth in recent times, mainly due to their diverse range of applications. The most well-known ones include but are not limited to: volcanology, archaeology, civil engineering, nuclear reactor monitoring, nuclear waste characterization, underground mapping, etc. These...
