Design and Construction of a Muon Detector Prototype for Study the Galeras Volcano Internal Structure

Muon tomography is a technique based on the observation of the absorption of muons in matter, as the ordinary radiography does using X-rays. The interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere produce Extensive Air Showers, which provide an abundant source of muons. These particles can be used for mu...
