Description

Portable muon detection systems are increasingly in demand for muography applications in environments requiring flexible installation and transportability. We present the ongoing development and implementation of a portable muon tracking system based on glass Resistive Plate Chambers (gRPCs). The work addresses the fabrication and assembly of compact, position-sensitive RPC detectors, along with their performance when operated with a standard gas mixture and coupled to external front-end electronics and a scalable multi-channel data-acquisition system. The system design prioritizes modular construction, mechanical robustness, operational safety, autonomous functionality, and cost-effectiveness.

Measurements with atmospheric muons demonstrated stable detector performance and reliable tracking capability, confirming the suitability of this architecture for muographic measurements. We will conclude with an outlook on further developments of the detection system.
