Description
Muon tomography consists in using cosmic muons to probe structures in a non-invasive nor destructive way. The successful development of muon telescopes using Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors over the past decades triggered the interest of many industrials for such technology. However, telescopes are limited in terms of compacity and angular acceptance which are performances with high requirements for applications such as geology or oil prospection. This motivated the development of a new instrument that meets such requirements.
The use of a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) allows for a full track reconstruction in a quasi-isotropical way. In order to keep a good resolution while reducing the number of electronic channels (for a better compacity), the readout plane is 2D-multiplexed which makes the reconstruction challenging.
This talk will present the first prototype that has been developed and the first steps of track reconstruction that have been implemented.
