Test Experiments on Muon Radiography with Emulsion Track Detectors in Russia

Abstract Lebedev Physical Institute (LPI RAS) and Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics MSU (SINP MSU) have started the series of test muon radiography experiments in Russia. These experiments are aimed at determination of the optimal conditions of the setup, elaboration of algorithms for data processing and the study of the method peculiarities. The final goal of the method development is drafting of monitoring systems for natural and technological objects which condition may be a threat for the population, infrastructure or environment.
