Simulation of Muon Tomography Projections to Image the Pyramids of Giza
Mira Liu
Purpose: A geometric simulation of a possible two-plane detector was developed to test the abilities of the detector to generate high-resolution images of the Great Pyramid using muon tomography. Methods and Materials: Trajectory range, angular resolution, and acceptance of the detector were calculated with a simulation. Trajectories and the corresponding sinogram space covered were simulated first with one detector in one location, and then two moving detectors on adjacent sides of the pyramid. The resolution at the center slice of the pyramid was calculated using the angular resolution of the detector. Results: The simulation returned trajectory range encompassing the pyramid and peak angular resolution of .0004sr. Sinogram space covered by one position was inadequate, however two moving detectors on adjacent sides of the pyramid cover a significant portion. Resolution at the center of the pyramid is roughly 3m. Conclusions: The simulation provides a way to calculate the detector positions needed to cover an adequate amount of sinogram space for high-resolution cosmic-ray tomographic reconstruction of the Great Pyramids. Key Words: high-resolution muon tomography, one-sided tomography, sinogram simulation, detector simulation
