Zusammenfassung |
A portable cosmic muon detector has been developed for geophysical
applications: searching for large scale underground rock/soil inhomogeneities
and underground cavities. The designed muon telescope called a muon tomograph is
based on the recently developed closed cathode chamber (CCC) technology,
which provides a cheap, easy handling, portable, and power efficient detector
system able to work even in extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity, low/high
temperature). The muon telescope has a detection surface of approximately 0.1 m2
with a 10 mrad angular resolution. Tests have been performed in natural caves and
artificial tunnel systems as well. In this paper a summary of the first
results on tomographic cavities are presented and the geophysical and
possible industrial use of the cosmic muon tomographic technology is indicated. |
