Abstract

This study explores the application of cosmic ray muon tomography. It analyzes how cosmic ray detection can be used to obtain the shape and structure of absorber obstacle. We designed an experiment to obtain cosmic ray muon data with and without absorber. Through data analysis and comparison with python program, it can then be determined whether the result of analysis align with the hypothesis with physics principles and provide insightful evidence on the shape of the absorber.
