| Popis: | Cosmic ray muonography is a novel technique for imaging of the internal structures of large natural and industrial objects. It exploits the capability of high energy muons from cosmic rays to penetrate large thicknesses of large subjects to be studied, in order to obtain a density map. It uses muon flux attenuation and absorption in materials of investigated objects. Nuclear emulsions are tracking detectors well suited to be employed in muonography for investigations of inner structure of large objects up to kilometers size, since emulsions have firstly an excellent angular resolution, they are compact and robust, do not require power supply. The muonography methods are applied to study one of UNESCO world heritage objects, the unusual building in the Naryn-Kala citadel hidden underground. The use of nuclear emulsions as probing radiation detectors provides for a uniquely high resolution capacity of recording instrumentation combined with the potential of modern image analysis methods giving 3D reconstruction of the internal structures of the investigated object. |
