The muon Moonshot: Moon subsurface tomography with upward-going muons
Zimo Hu, Leyun Gao, Zhengyun You +6
We propose a novel muon Moonshot concept for lunar subsurface tomography based on upward-going muons originated from the lunar regolith. Unlike the Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosph…
Improving Muon-Scattering Material Identification via Coarse Momentum Encoding and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation
Yuxin Bao, Zhao Zhang, Pei Yu +7
Cosmic-ray muon scattering has shown considerable potential for detecting nuclear materials and other dense contraband, but practical deployment remains challenging. A major diffic…
Improving Muon Scattering Tomography Performance With A Muon Momentum Measurement Scheme
Pei Yu, Ziwen Pan, Jiajia Zhai +10
Muon imaging, especially muon scattering tomography (MST), has recently garnered significant attention. MST measures the magnitude of muon scattering angles inside an object, which…
The Feasibility Study of the GeV-Energy Muon Source Based on HIAF
Yu Xu, Xueheng Zhang, Yuhong Yu +13
Generating a mono-energetic, high-energy muon beam using accelerator facilities can be very attractive for many purposes, for example, improving muon tomography currently limited b…
Transfer learning empowers material Z classification with muon tomography
Haochen Wang, Zhao Zhang, Pei Yu +12
Cosmic-ray muon sources exhibit distinct scattering angle distributions when interacting with materials of different atomic numbers (Z values), facilitating the identification of v…
