摘要:

μ子断层摄影术或μ照相术是一种新兴的成像技术,其使用宇宙成因μ子作为辐射源。由于其广泛的应用范围和使用天然辐射,muography被应用于许多领域,如地质学,考古学,土木工程,核反应堆监测,核废料表征,地下调查等μ子可以使用各种探测器技术,其中,电阻板室(RPC)是一个非常具有成本效益的选择。RPC是一种平面探测器,它利用薄气隙中的电离来探测宇宙μ子,多年来已经在主要的粒子加速器实验中使用。我们研制了一台由小尺度RPC组成的μ子望远镜。我们的muoscope的设计目标是便携和自主,以便在不容易访问的地方获取数据。整个设置是轻而紧凑,这样可以很容易地装在汽车行李箱。单个RPC安装在气密铝箱中。一旦腔室被填充,就不需要气瓶。可以使用无线连接从合理的距离控制muoscope。在本文中,我们总结了我们的项目的指导原则,并提出了一些最近的发展和未来的前景,包括长期稳定性研究的电阻率的丝网印刷获得的涂层。

英文摘要:

Muon tomography or muography is an emerging imaging technique that uses cosmogenic muons as the radiation source. Due to its diverse range of applications and the use of natural radiation, muography is being applied across many fields such as geology, archaeology, civil engineering, nuclear reactor monitoring, nuclear waste characterization, underground surveys, etc. Muons can be detected using various detector technologies, among which, resistive plate chambers (RPC) are a very cost effective choice. RPCs are planar detectors which use ionization in a thin gas gap to detect cosmic muons, already used since years in major particle accelerator experiments. We have developed a muon telescope (or muoscope) composed of small scale RPCs. The design goal for our muoscope is to be portable and autonomous, in order to take data in places that are not easily accessible. The whole setup is light and compact, such to be easily packed in a car trunk. Individual RPCs are hosted in gas-tight aluminium cases. There is no need for gas bottles, once the chambers are filled. The muoscope can be controlled from a reasonable distance using wireless connection. In this paper, we summarize the guiding principles of our project and present some recent developments and future prospects, including a long-term stability study of the resistivity of the semiconductive coating obtained with serigraphy.
