Muography and Gravimetry Joint Inversion

- "Joint inversion of gravity and cosmic ray muon flux at a well-characterised site for shallow subsurface density prediction" - Cosburn et al, 2019 (very good)

ABOUT: The target was a a regionally extensive high-density layer beneath Los Alamos, USA. Surface and subsurface gravity and muon measurements were obtained above and below the target volume. It used a Bayesian joint inversion technique with the combined gravity-muon dataset.

- "3D Density Modeling With Gravity and Muon-Radiographic Observations in Showa-Shinzan" - Nishiyama, 2017

ABOUT: A density model was developed which agrees with the observed gravity and muon data simultaneously. The problem was formulated as a linear inverse problem through a Bayesian approach.
