Abstract

The Atmospheric Muons have unique potential to be used to probe the internal structure of massive objects like volcanoes. Providing insight in a series of issues, ranging from volcano live monitoring to applications in archaeology or use for non-invasive and non-destructive control processes in the industry

The project invite citizen to a look into events registered by detectors and help to categorise their signal, find the proper particle tracks and extra particle strikes on the detector surfaces.
