This thesis is dedicated towards the creation of a new direction-sensitive tool for muon flux measurement based on a thin time projection chamber with a Micromegas readout, to achieve a compact detector with an angular resolution compatible with civil engineering and geophysics imagery and monitoring applications. The main motivation is to...

The use of Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors in geophysics and civil engineering applications has experienced an increase related to the incorporation of muon tomography in these fields. The Temporal Tomography of Density by the Measurement of Muons project has developed a new direction-sensitive tool for muon flux measurement based on a thin...

Transmission muography is an expanding technique based on the attenuation of the natural-occurring cosmic muons' flux due to the opacity of the medium to obtain the distribution of density around the detector. The current work introduces the technology developed by the Temporal Tomography of the Densitometry by the Measurement of Muons (T2DM2)...

The MUST 2 (MUon Survey Tomography based on Micromegas detectors for Unreachable Sites Technology) camera is based on a thin Time Projection Chamber read by a resistive Micromegas. This innovative combination presents interesting distinctive features compared to existing muon detection technologies. It allows a wide angular acceptance of the...
