Cosmic ray muons for spent nuclear fuel monitoring
… spent nuclear fuel stored within dry casks using cosmic ray muons is developed. The motivation stems from the need to investigate whether the stored content agrees with facility declarations to allow proliferation detection and international treaty verification. Cosmic ray muons are charged …

ADVANCED APPLICATIONS OF COSMIC-RAY MUON RADIOGRAPHY
The passage of cosmic-ray muons through matter is dominated by the Coulomb interaction with electrons and atomic nuclei. The muons interaction with electrons leads to continuous energy loss and stopping through the process of ionization. The muon's interaction with nuclei leads to angular …

Determination of the angular distribution of cosmic rays at sea level
… to measure the zenith angular distribution of cosmic ray muons at sea level. The setup consists of two long scintillator counters with double-ended readout. Previous measurements have shown that the intensity of muons obey the cos 2 0 distribution. In this thesis, two methods are used. The …

The cosmic ray muon energy spectum via Čerenkov radiation
… detector to measure the energy spectrum of cosmic ray muons for use in the graduate experimental physics courses, 8.811/2. The apparatus consists of a light-tight central volume with a phototube to detect the Cerenkov radiation of muons whose speed is higher than the speed of light in the …

Applicability of cosmic ray muon radiography to nuclear nonproliferation
… timely fashion. This procedure requires a wide array of detector modalities, alerting authorities to the presence of undeclared items, including radioactive isotopes capable arming a nuclear device. Cosmic ray muon radiography offers a passive detection system capable of probing the atomic number, …
