高能（几百GeV以上）大气μ子是地球物理研究的天然探针。它们可以穿过数公里的岩石，从而可以对大型结构（如山脉或火山）内的密度分布进行射线照相。TOMUVOL是火山学家，天体粒子和粒子物理学家之间的合作，成立于2009年，研究用高分辨率，大规模跟踪探测器对火山进行断层成像。我们报告的两个运动的测量在侧面的Puy德圆顶使用玻璃电阻板室（GRPC）开发的粒子物理，在CALICE合作。
High-energy (above a few hundred GeV) atmospheric muons are a natural probe for geophysical studies. They can travel through kilometres of rock allowing for a radiography of the density distribution within large structures, like mountains or volcanoes. A collaboration between volcanologists, astroparticle and particle physicists, TOMUVOL was formed in 2009 to study tomographic muon imaging of volcanoes with high-resolution, large-scale tracking detectors. We report on two campaigns of measurements at the flank of the Puy de Dome using glass resistive plate chambers (GRPCs) developed for particle physics, within the CALICE collaboration.
