Embodiment Construction

[0031] The charged particle tomography detection techniques, devices, and systems described in this application can be implemented to detect the presence of certain objects or substances, such as nuclear substances, and to obtain tomographic information of such objects in various applications that Applications include, but are not limited to, inspection of packages, containers, occupied vehicles at security checkpoints, border crossings or other locations for nuclear threat objects (which may range from fully assembled nuclear weapons to small quantities of highly shielded nuclear material). The method enables detection of shielded and unshielded nuclear material using a single detection system in a compact configuration to provide a cost-effective method for detecting nuclear and other target devices and materials.

[0032] Background cosmic radiation provides a source that can be used to study the internal structure of objects without the need for additional radiation. Muon ...

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This patent document claims U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 092,372, filed August 27, 2008, entitled "IMAGING BASED ON COSMIC-RAY PRODUCED CHARGED PARTICLES," and filed January 15, 2009, entitled "TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING USING ENERGY LOSS OF COSMIC-RAY PRODUCED CHARGED PARTICLES" to the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 145,091, both of which are incorporated by reference as part of this document. technical field [0003] This patent document relates to detection of cosmic radiation and imaging based on charged particles produced by cosmic rays. Background technique [0004] Cosmic ray tomography (tomography) is a technique that utilizes multiple Coulomb scattering of charged particles (eg, muons) produced by cosmic rays to perform non-destructive inspection of matter without using artificial radiation. Earth is continuously bombarded by energetically stable particles (mostly protons) from deep space. These particles interact wit...
