标题： The use of cosmic muons in detecting heterogeneities in large volumes

摘要： 分析了利用μ子强度衰减法探测大体积物质内部不均匀性的方法。提出了估算采集时间和信噪比的近似解析表达式，并通过蒙特卡罗模拟验证了这些表达式。此外，还利用蒙特卡罗模拟估算了包括点扩散函数和坐标重构不确定性在内的若干重要参数。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The muon intensity attenuation method to detect heterogeneities in large matter volumes is analyzed. Approximate analytical expressions to estimate the collection time and the signal to noise ratio, are proposed and validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Important parameters, including point spread function and coordinate reconstruction uncertainty are also estimated using Monte Carlo simulations.
