Muon Tomography LIP wiki page
This is the Wiki of the Muon Tomography group. You need to register in Wiki and after that ask to be included in 'Wiki Muon Tomography Group' to be able to edit it. You should contact Sofia Andringa ou Lorenzo Cazon.
For any doubts just email Web Team of LIP CC ( webservices@lip.pt )
This is the private work page for the Muon Tomography group, but serves also to share contentsfor the public page for the near future.
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.
Next meeting in September 2018:
- plans for Lousal
- longer term plans
Pilot Project at Lousal
A first goal is to install a RPC based Muon Telescope at the Lousal Ciência Viva center, and operate it remotely, 30 meters underground in a (non-active) mine environment, and exposed to visitors and even some bats.
Tomography of the Coimbra Building
A RPC based Muon Telescope has been operating in the LIP-Coimbra detector laboratory for many years. It is used to test each new detector plane that is produced there. We can use the data also to image the building of the UCoimbra Physics department building.
There is a lot of data available from the detector test muon telescope at Coimbra.
Some pre-treated data is in: www.coimbra.lip.pt/~alberto/data.tar.gz with format:
Ano, mes, dia, hora, minuto, segundo,
Posição longitudinal P1, P2, P3, P4, - diferença de tempo, escala de TDC bins
Posição transversal de P1, P2, P3, P4, - 1 de 15 strips de 30 mm (0.4 mm de intervalo)
Tempos do telescópio T1, T2, T3, T4, sem calibrar - média dos tempos, usada no trigger
As posições verticais são: P1=49.75 cm, P2=52.25 cm, P3=2.25 cm, P4=6.75cm.
Outras 128 variáveis de um detetor de Marta que esta por cima do telescópio a 143 cm. Este último não esta no trigger.
The master thesis of Vitor (USP-S.Carlos)
=> Good practice for data cleaning, data reconstruction and techniques for image cleaning
=> Good plans for other master thesis, smaller student projects and opportunities for outreach
