Abstract
The paper discusses about the R&D of a setup for muon tomography utilizing the scattering suffered by the muons due to electromagnetic interaction with the atomic nuclei while passing through any matter. The design of the setup has been optimized using numerical simulation for material discrimination and for further application in inspection of civil structures. An image processing algorithm based on pattern recognition method has been developed and tested for its performance in distinguishing between light and heavy elements and detecting defects in civil structures. The hardware developmental activities related to the muon tracking detectors and data acquisition system have been discussed.
