Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Instruments & Instrumentation)Muon radiography based on the multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic-ray muons has been performed. In this work, we discuss experimental results obtained with a cost-effective simple detection system assembled with three plastic scintillator strips. We counted the number of muons that were not largely deflected by restricting the zenith angle in one direction to 0.8. The capability of the apparatus to discriminate Fe, Pb and C is presented. This principle can be applied to inspect large constructions with mass-conserved reactions such as a nuclear reactor. We show that materials lighter than Pb also can be discriminated with this system.

Muon radiography based on the multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic-ray muons has been performed. In this work, we discuss experimental results obtained with a cost-effective simple detection system assembled with three plastic scintillator strips. Actually, we counted the number of muons that were not largely deflected by restricting the zenith angle in one direction to 0.8. The system could discriminate Fe, Pb and C. Materials lighter than Pb can be also discriminated with this system.
