Enhanced water Cherenkov detector for soil moisture detection
J. Betancourt, C. Sarmiento-Cano, I. Sidelnik +4
This work evaluates the ability of a water Cherenkov detector to measure thermal neutrons and explores its application to soil-moisture monitoring. We study a NaCl-doped detector a…
PlomBOX -- development of a low-cost CMOS device for environmental monitoring
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, E. Alba Posse, M. Alvarez +36
This paper reports on the development of a novel CMOS device employing lead-sensing bacteria to assay lead in drinking water. The objective of the PlomBOX project is to develop a l…
Characterization and on-field performance of the MuTe Silicon Photomultipliers
J. Sánchez-Villafrades, J. Peña-Rodríguez, H. Asorey +1
The Muon Telescope is a muography experiment for imaging volcanoes in Colombia. It consists of a scintillator tracking system and a water Cherenkov detector used for particle depos…
Study of Spatial Resolution of Muon Hodoscopes for Muography Applications in Geophysics
R. Calderón-Ardila, A. Almela, M. Gómez-Berisso +4
Muon radiography, also known as muography, is a non-destructive geophysical technique for the study of the internal structure of large objects such as volcanoes. This is possible b…
Design and construction of MuTe: a hybrid Muon Telescope to study Colombian Volcanoes
J. Peña-Rodríguez, J. Pisco-Guabave, D. Sierra-Porta +6
We present a hybrid Muon Telescope, MuTe, designed and built for imaging active Colombian volcanoes. The MuTe has a resolution of tens of meters, low power consumption, robustness…
Simulated Response of MuTe, a Hybrid Muon Telescope
A. Vásquez-Ramírez, M. Suárez-Durán, A. Jaimes-Motta +6
In this paper we present a complete and detailed computational model of the response of the hybrid Muon Telescope (MuTe), designed to perform muography volcanic studies. This instr…
