Description
Since ancient times, solar energy has been recognized as a source of energy for growing crops, but in recent years, the technology for harnessing solar energy to generate electricity has also developed. The total amount of cosmic muon energy available on Earth is much smaller than the total amount of solar energy available on Earth; however, if energy is gauged at the unit of one particle, the muon has much higher energy than the solar photon. Due to this feature, it is possible to utilize muons as signals for spaciotempoeal positioning. The advantages of this technique are: 1. unlike conventional positioning signals (RF, sound, and visible light), muon signals are unimpeded by almost all obstacles, and therefore can be used in environments where other signals fail, enabling navigation in some areas where other existing navigation technologies are not applicable, and 2. being a naturally occurring phenomenon, muon signals do not have to be artificially generated. In this talk, it will be presented that indoor and outdoor positions will be seamlessly define universally based on the Earth's center of gravity and/or Universal Coordinated Time by integrating muometric navigation with GPS/GNSS and indoor/underground geometry Improvements to the accuracy of digital twin models and smart society applications are anticipated in which this new technology could be used.
