Abstract

We explored the cosmic ray flux attenuation, the induction of electro-magnetic showers, and muonic X-rays as a means to radiograph small scale objects. We are reporting on the value of the signatures provided by these physical processes to the muon tomography. The results of the related experiments and the Monte-Carlo calculations that we performed are discussed. Based on our data and our validated models we present the type of information that can be drawn from signatures of the above processes, the value, and the associated cost of this information. We discuss the general requirements to the detector systems that have to be met in order to reach the desired signal to noise ratio and make use of cosmic ray flux attenuation, induction of electromagnetic showers, and muonic X-rays in muon tomography
