The muons, charged particles of cosmic origin, have the particularity of being very penetrative. The attenuation of muon flux in matter highlights the quantity of matter (depth x density) passed through. Based on this principle, the muography is a technique allowing the study of the in-situ density of large targets as geological structures. The...

Tomography using muons is a method to investigate the subsurface density. Muons are particles produced in the atmosphere, and their absorption depends on the quantity of matter they pass through, hence on the rock density and thickness. The Temporal Tomography of rock mass Density using Muons flux Measurement (T2DM2) project aims to...

We describe the basis of the muon telescope used within the Temporal Tomography Densitometric by the Measure of Muons (T2DM2) project developed in the LSBB URL facilities. The telescope allows measuring the flux of muons, as well as their energy and origin for the characterization of spatial and temporal rock density variations.
