Prototype of a hybrid muon tomograph for muonography of large-scale objects

A fully functional prototype, consisting of the same components, was assembled at the MEPhI to test the muonography technology before assembling the final version of the muon tomograph. An experiment on spatial localization of test objects assembled from lead bricks using the muonography method was carried out to test the performance of the developed hardware-software complex and data processing methods. The article describes the design of a prototype hybrid muon tomograph, the applied techniques for reconstructing events and constructing muonograms, and also presents the main results of experiments on the localization of lead assemblies in space based on the analysis of difference muonograms.
