Threat Detection Using a Modular Cosmic Ray Muon Tomography System
Abstract
To develop a simple,effctive, robust, modular threat assessment system to detect contraband using naturally occurring cosmic ray muons. The system will also detect background muons from these and other sources that could potentially provide more information on the nature of these naturally occuring events involving cosmic ray showers, and their dependence on a number of factors including terrestrial weather and solar sources.
