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 and test contents for 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 LIP-Coimbra
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.
