Description

Muon tomography is a imaging technique that reconstructs an object's internal structure by examining cosmic ray muon trajectories as they contact with various materials. This study focuses on the design and simulation of a Geant4-based scintillator strip detector for muon tomography. The detector is made up of 15 mm-wide scintillator strips that are optimized for spatial resolution and exact imaging. Key design considerations include the choice of scintillator material, strip dimensions, and arrangement to spatial resolution and detector sensitivity. A novel layered strip configuration, including reference and filtered layers, allows for enhanced positional resolution by minimizing gaps and reducing noise. This study provides insights into improving scintillator strip detectors for muon tomography by investigating the influence of strip shape and arrangement, opening the way for improved imaging systems applicable in a wide range of scientific areas.
