Muon tomography, based on the measurement of multiple scattering of cosmic ray muons traversing a volume to be investigated, is an attractive technique for detecting hidden high-Z materials. A cosmic ray muon tomograph with sensitive volume of 3m × 3m × 2.5m has been constructed at IHEP (Protvino) and is under producing first data and results. The description and characteristics of the setup are presented...
Using of multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic ray muons is an attractive way lor detection of hidden materials. lHEP Protvino group is constructing large-scale prototype to make careful investigation of this subject. At a preliminary stage we have assembled the simplified 1-D prototype to test the concept. The prototype consists of 4 modules (bundles) of 30 mm (OD) drift tubes, top and bottom pairs...
