A mobile high spatial-resolution Muography hodoscope based on large-area Micromegas detectors

Abstract: Muon radiography is an imaging technique based on muon absorption in matter that allows measurement of internal details in hidden objects or structures. This technique relies on measuring cosmic-ray muons tracks accurately, which reflects the incoming muon flux from both the target object and the open sky. In this paper, we report on the construction of a high spatial resolution muography hodoscope based on Micromegas detectors. Using four layers of 40cm {times} 40 cm Micromegas detectors, channel multiplexing circuits, and the versatile readout system, a moveable muography hodoscope named {mu}STC-R400 was designed and constructed. Results show that the channel multiplexing circuits can resolve hit positions correctly, and the spatial resolution of the detector is approximately 190 {mu}m. Experiments were conducted at an under-construction subway tunnel and outdoors near a mountain, demonstrating the {mu}STC-R400’s ability to maintain high spatial resolution outside the laboratory and its robustness in harsh environments.
