Abstract
Summary
Muons are subatomic particles capable of penetrating the earth’s crust several kilometers. Muons have been used to image the Pyramid of Khafre of Giza, various volcanoes, and smaller targets like cargo. For objects like a volcano, the detector is placed at the volcano’s base and muon fluxes for paths through the volcano are recorded for many days to weeks.
