Then, we discuss critically some outstanding issues that affect a broad variety of applications, and the current state of the art in addressing them. A major part of the energy received from the. Our aim is to provide an introduction to this vibrant research area, starting from the physical principles at the basis of the methods and describing the main detector technologies and imaging tools, including their combination with conventional techniques from other disciplines, where appropriate. When gravitational waves strike the aluminum bar antenna, it is driven into oscillation. Muography also bears promise of immediate societal impact through geotechnical investigations, nuclear waste surveys, homeland security, and natural hazard monitoring.
Recent years have seen a steep rise in the development of muography methods in a variety of innovative multidisciplinary approaches to study the interior of natural or human-made structures, establishing synergies between usually disconnected academic disciplines such as particle physics, geology, and archaeology. In 1962 he co-founded the groundbreaking minimalist ensemble informally known as the Dream Syndicate. Imaging methods based on the absorption or scattering of atmospheric muons, collectively named under the neologism “muography”, exploit the abundant natural flux of muons produced from cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere. Conrads previously obscure past is now well documented.
