论文摘要
吉萨高原(Giza Plateau)的金字塔从远古时代开始着迷游客,并且是古代世界的七个奇观中的最后一个。自路易斯·阿尔瓦雷斯(Luiz Alvarez)和他的团队使用宇宙射线哑光成像以寻找卡法尔金字塔(Khafres Pyramid)的隐藏室以来,已经半个世纪了。高能物理学仪器(HEP)的仪器进展允许一项新的调查,即扫描片,在Great Pyramid(Khufu)中使用Alvarez团队使用的基本技术进行了重要的新发现,但现在使用了现代仪器。探索伟大的金字塔任务计划,旨在实施一个非常大的MUON望远镜系统,该系统将在宇宙射线MUON成像领域进行变革。我们计划派出一个望远镜系统,该系统的望远镜系统是最近在Great Pyramid上使用的设备灵敏度的100倍,它将从几乎所有角度对Muons进行映像,并将首次产生如此庞大的结构的真正层析成像图像。
The pyramids of the Giza plateau have fascinated visitors since ancient times and are the last of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world still standing. It has been half a century since Luiz Alvarez and his team used cosmic-ray muon imaging to look for hidden chambers in Khafres Pyramid. Advances in instrumentation for High-Energy Physics (HEP) allowed a new survey, ScanPyramids, to make important new discoveries at the Great Pyramid (Khufu) utilizing the same basic technique that the Alvarez team used, but now with modern instrumentation. The Exploring the Great Pyramid Mission plans to field a very-large muon telescope system that will be transformational with respect to the field of cosmic-ray muon imaging. We plan to field a telescope system that has upwards of 100 times the sensitivity of the equipment that has recently been used at the Great Pyramid, will image muons from nearly all angles and will, for the first time, produce a true tomographic image of such a large structure.
