Description

Muography is a useful technology for non-destructive inspection of a large-scale structure. Muography with cosmic ray muons has limitations such as low rates, particularly low muon rates in the horizontal direction, and energy spreading, which require long observation times and limit its resolution. Worldwide, large structures such as bridges built during the economic development period of the 1950s-1960s have reached the end of their useful life, and the principle of preventive maintenance is being applied to save the resources, by understanding their interiors and renewing them with priority given to structures that have deteriorated. At this time, a technology of non-destructive inspection applicable to such large structures is required, and Muography using a portable artificial muons source is a promising candidate for this purpose. In this presentation, the results of the investigation of the portable artificial muon source will be presented.
