Researchers have mapped a hidden corridor inside Khufu’s Pyramid, the largest of the Giza complex, using nothing more than ...

Egyptian authorities have signaled that a forthcoming announcement tied to the Great Pyramid of Giza will force a rethinking ...

Muon beams can now be created in a device that is the length of a ruler. Researchers at Berkeley Lab presented a foot-long (30 cm) compact laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) that can generate and detect ...

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 ...

Cosmic-ray muons are naturally abundant, high-energy particles that can probe geological structures. Muography exploits muon attenuation or scattering to infer density variations, offering a ...

Muon imaging exploits the natural flux of high-energy cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal density structure of large geological and man-made bodies. Two principal approaches are in use: attenuation ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...
