#muography — Public Fediverse posts

New paper, just published in Physical Review X Energy, on the muography of the G3 nuclear reactor

by Baptiste Lefevre and co-authors
https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXEnergy.4.013002

The visualization software I developed for #Cosmology contributed in the mapping of the inner, inaccessible structure of the reactor.

Last Friday, Ryuichi Nishiyama and Emma Dangerfield took us underground through gravity, muons, and badgers!

Missed it? Want to see it again? Photos and video in our archive: https://tokyo.nerdnite.com/archive/

And don't forget to come back to the surface for our next event on May 24!

Get ready to go underground on Friday, April 19!

At Nerd Nite Tokyo 57, Ryuichi Nishiyama will be exploring volcanoes using high-tech muography, and Emma Dangerfield is using fossils to make sure that badgers get some respect!

@gregeganSF @johncarlosbaez Agree, muons are minimal-ionizing-particles (doing a little ionization and don't shower up via bremsstrahlung as electrons do) and as such super detector friendly. We created cosmic muon detectors in the physisc lab at uni by anti-correlating two scintillator with a lead plates inbetween and there are school versions of that experiment even. Here I assume a large area would be useful and extracting momentum and direction are the challenging bit. Dark matter and neutrino experiments have muons as a major background, which is why e.g. #icecube built a large surface array of scintillators for vetoing them. Will check out the sources now...

Muography, the technology that allows us to peer inside volcanos among other things, has a problem: magnetic fields distort images. A new simulation examines the scope of the problem.

Piramides en deeltjesfysica!? Ja hoor: "Met de technologie worden ook muonen opgevangen, kosmische stralingen die doorheen materie gaan en kunnen worden opgevangen.
Zo kan worden afgelezen waar er massieve ruimtes zijn en waar er mogelijk nog leegtes zijn."
Ook verschillende van mijn collega's (VUB, UCLouvain) bouwen aan de ontwikkeling van deze interdisciplinaire techniek.

🤩 Superb result, following the previous detection of a void using the #muography technique. A great encouragement for our @CP3_UCLouvain colleagues A. Giammanco and E. Cortina who are exploring this technique for cultural heritage applications and more!

NEW - A hidden corridor has been discovered close to the main entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

📣 cool paper alert

Just published in Science Advances, the first 3D mapping of a nuclear reactor, using the technique of muon tomography: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abq8431

G2 is an obsolete experimental reactor. By placing #muon #telescopes at strategic positions below this massive beast, we were able to capture a 3D view of its inner, inaccessible structure, as shown in this video: https://vimeo.com/672377812

This study shows the potential of #muography for the inspection and monitoring of #nuclear sites.
