Presentation Transcript

  1. Muon Diagnostics as a new approach to environment monitoring and forecasting Anatoly Petrukhin National Research Nuclear University MEPhIScientific & Education Centre NEVOD Contents • Muon diagnostics and muon hodoscopes. • Muon diagnostics of heliosphere. • Muon diagnostics of atmosphere.

  2. Main idea of muon diagnostics Cosmic ray muon flux and its variations of Earth’s surface depend on both primary cosmic ray changes caused by solar activity and secondary cosmic ray changes in the atmosphere caused by its disturbances. Muon diagnostics is solution of the inverse task – study of dynamic processes in the atmosphere and in the near-Earth space using cosmic ray muon variation data.

  3. What is muon hodoscope? • Setup which can detect cosmic ray muons from any direction of upper hemisphere in real time mode with sufficient angular resolution.

  4. Muon Hodoscope URAGAN Total area – 45 m2 (~ 6000 m / s). Readout system – 19456 channels (resolution: spatial – 1 cm, angular – 1º).

  5. One-minutedata matrix • 2D-muon intensity matrix: • 1-minute exposure • angular matrix 90x90 cells • statistical errors ~0.1 % (for 10-minute bin) Data processing: averaging normalizing Fourier filtering of noise

  6. 2D-dynamics of muon flux with the normal conditions

  7. Muon diagnostics of heliospheric processes

  8. Cosmic rays in the heliosphere Sun Earth

  43. Wave process from hurricane in Dubna 26 June 2005 appeares in the muon flux 2 hours before

  44. Distance from Dubna to MEPHI ~ 140 km, however: • Detector registered azimuthally asymmetry of muon flux in the direction hurricane. • Wavelet analysis revealed wave process in the atmosphere, which began before the hurricane in Dubna.

  45. Snowfall in Moscow on 7 December 2009 This snowfall was not predicted Meteorological Agencies

  46. Results of wavelet analysisof muon flux The beginning of wave process was observed about 20 h before snowfall.

  48. Thunderstorm in Moscow June 13, 2010 The beginning of wave process was observed about 3 h before thunderstorm.

  49. Possible applications • Potential customers of muon hodoscopes can be: • Big cities; • Airports; • various potential dangerous object destruction of which can give catastrophic consequences. • As final goal the construction of world-wide net of muon hodoscopes for global monitoring of Earth atmosphere can be considered (similar to the neutron monitors for cosmic ray investigations).
