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…
First Proof of Principle Experiment for Muon Production with Ultrashort High Intensity Laser
Feng Zhang, Li Deng, Yanjie Ge +26
Muons, which play a crucial role in both fundamental and applied physics, have traditionally been generated through proton accelerators or from cosmic rays. With the advent of ultr…
