Abstract

Cosmic-ray muon scattering tomography has gathered attention in the security and nuclear industries in the last 10 years. Muon scattering tomography is capable of identifying atomic numbers of objects, is highly sensitivity to high-atomic-number materials such as uranium, and is very useful for detecting them in a background of low-atomic-number material. The principle, detectors, and applications of muon tomography are presented, as well as its future aspect.
