    The SCENA project (Scientific Cosmic Experiments with Narrative Arts) aims to validate a static monitoring system for heritage buildings through the construction and field deployment of two dedicated muon telescopes. The system builds on a previously published feasibility study [1]. By correlating muon trajectories measured by two vertically separated telescopes rigidly fixed to a building,...

    The Copán archaeological site, located in western Honduras, is an ancient Maya city where numerous temples and stelae remain in well-preserved condition. Among them, Temple 8 has not yet been investigated internally, and the possibility of an undiscovered royal tomb has been suggested.

    In this study, we conducted a cosmic-ray imaging observation using nuclear emulsion to non-destructively...

    Talk

    Large archaeological heritage sites are important carriers of human cultural heritage, and the structural integrity of these sites is crucial for their long-term preservation. However, prolonged exposure to natural processes and human activities often leads to structural deterioration within such sites. Among various environmental factors, rainfall-induced erosion and water infiltration play a...

    The NAUM (Non-invasive Archaeometry Using Muons) project is a collaboration between US and Mexican institutions exploring El Castillo pyramid in the archaeological zone of Chichen Itza, Mexico, using a scintillator-based muon tracker. The development of non-intrusive remote sensing techniques has been one of the major interdisciplinary successes of archaeometry. Ground-penetrating radar and...
