μ子断层摄影术是一种基于观察物质中μ子吸收的技术，就像普通的X射线照相术一样。宇宙射线与大气的相互作用产生广泛的空气簇射，这提供了丰富的μ子来源。这些粒子可用于μ子断层扫描的多种应用，特别是研究不同火山大厦的内部结构。在任何μ子层析成像实验中，都需要一个能够对μ子相互作用敏感的粒子探测器。在这里，我们报告的第一个步骤的一个完整的原型粒子探测器的设计进行μ子断层扫描的Galeras火山周围遇到的恶劣条件下的简要描述。在这项工作中描述的机械设计和制造过程中的μ子探测器原型的支撑结构，并对未来的探测器模拟GEANT4的第一步。
Muon tomography is a technique based on the observation of the absorption of muons in matter, as the ordinary radiography does using X-rays. The interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere produce Extensive Air Showers, which provide an abundant source of muons. These particles can be used for multiple applications on muon tomography, in particular, to study the internal structure of different volcanoes edifices. It is necessary in any muon tomography experiment a particle detector that has the capability to be sensitive to muon interactions. Here we report a brief description of the first steps towards a complete design of a prototype particle detector to perform muon tomography in harsh conditions encountered in the surroundings of the Galeras Volcano. The mechanical design and fabrication processes of the supporting structure of the muon detector prototype, and first steps towards a future detector simulations on GEANT4 are described in this work.
