Muographers' Conference Series
Cosmic-ray muons are omnipresent elementary particles continuously produced in Earth’s atmosphere. Advances in particle physics instrumentation and methodology have enabled the development of muography — also known as muon tomography or muon radiography — a passive and non-destructive imaging technique used to explore the internal structure of large natural and human-made objects.
An international community has emerged to fully exploit the potential of this technique across academic and industrial sectors and to promote its societal applications. The Muographers Conference Series has been held regularly since the late 2000s, providing a platform to present new discoveries and innovations, and to discuss future directions in muography. In recent years, the conferences have taken place in Ghent, Belgium (2021), Tokyo, Japan (2022), Naples, Italy (2023), and Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA (2024).
