Mapping underground spaces—muon technology shows promise for 3D imaging of subsurface for archaeological excavations
A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors identify muons—particles created when cosmic radiation collides with Earth ...
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top veto tracker system for the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO) experiment.
The study of cosmic ray anisotropy and magnetic fields lies at the intersection of astrophysics and plasma physics, revealing subtle imprints of the turbulent interstellar medium and the local ...
Muons continually bombard the ground at a known rate and angular distribution. As muons lose energy when passing through matter, their flux is attenuated depending on the integrated density along ...
In late 2025, Rio Tinto signed a five-year partnership with Ideon Technologies, a company that uses muon tomography to develop 3D Earth subsurface models, which can help Rio identify copper and iron ...
