Muography employs cosmic ray particles Muons, to detect shielded nuclear contraband, to objects deeply buried up to thousands of meters below the earth’s surface

muon

Muons are subatomic particles that behave a lot like electrons but are around 200 times heavier. As the US Department of Energy explains, “Muons created in the atmosphere constantly hit every inch of the Earth’s surface and pass through almost…...
