To investigate global Earth models with geoneutrino observations, it is crucial to characterize the surrounding crustal composition, since uranium (U) and thorium (Th) in the local crust contribute nearly half of the observed flux. In previous work, we developed a fully stochastic method to describe the 3D distribution of U and Th [1], along with a new geochemical approach to mitigate biases...

Nuclear emulsion is a radiation detector composed of silver bromide crystals dispersed in gelatin that records charged-particle tracks as sequences of silver grains with submicron spatial resolution. Although high energy tracks recorded in emulsion can be analyzed with the world fastest readout system (Hyper Track Selector 2: HTS2) , fast and precise detection of α-particle tracks has remained...
