Description
Because muons possess high material penetration capabilities, they are an extremely effective tool for non-destructive testing of large-scale structures. While cosmic-ray muons have traditionally been used for imaging infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels, as well as the interiors of buildings, challenges have included long measurement times and limitations on installation locations. In this study we propose the design of a portable muon source and accelerator utilizing a superconducting microtron that can be mounted on a standard highway truck. In this presentation, we will detail the muon generation process, potential applications, key technologies required for implementation, and the technical challenges encountered during development. Through these discussions, we will present a novel concept for a compact accelerator with a view toward societal implementation.
