Abstract
The muon radiography technique is part of the straight-ray scanning imaging methods and it is usually employed to produce two-dimensional images of the integrated density in the radial direction from the detector position. However, in the literature there are already some examples of muon tomographies made by combining several measurements from different observation points. The work presented in this article fits into this line of research: a tomography of a target composed of lead blocks arranged in a non-trivial geometry was carried out by means of muon absorption radiography measurements. To solve the inversion problem, an iterative algorithm called SART was employed, obtaining better results than using a Chi-squared minimization.
