Muon tomography for railway tunnel imaging

The article describes the application of muon tomography to the detection of unexpected density variations within civil infrastructure. Results from a scan of a disused railway tunnel in the United Kingdom with known density features, namely three open shafts, are presented. The known open shafts are identified with high statistical significance and a further hidden voided shaft is identified and located.
