Project Overview
The muon tomography group puts together different expertises on particle detection, simulation and analysis and geophysics data analysis and interpretation, based in Coimbra, Évora and Lisboa.
Pilot Project at Lousal
A first goal is to install a RPC based Muon Telescope 30 meters underground at the Lousal Ciência Viva, and operate it remotely, in a "simulated" mine environment, and exposed to the visitors and bats.
