Muon radiography is an imaging technique that relies on the transmis- sion of cosmic muons through matter. It allows the measurement of den- sity maps of large structures such as volcanoes. During the second half of 2013 the MURAY detector prototype carried out a data taking at the Puy de Dôme in the framework of the scientific collaboration with the experiment TOMUVOL in order to compare the results and performance of the two different detectors. Both experimental apparatuses measure a muon transmission of some orders of magnitude higher than that ex- pected highlighting a background that perturbs these measures.

Abstract
Muon radiography is an imaging technique that relies on the transmis- sion of cosmic muons through matter. It allows the measurement of den- sity maps of large structures such as volcanoes. During the second half of 2013 the MURAY detector prototype carried out a data taking at the Puy de Dôme in the framework of the scientific collaboration with the experiment TOMUVOL in order to compare the results and performance of the two different detectors. Both experimental apparatuses measure a muon transmission of some orders of magnitude higher than that ex- pected highlighting a background that perturbs these measures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
