Outline of Final Research Achievements

We attempted to observe the shape and porosity of fracture or faults predicted to be a sign of massive mountain collapse on one of the Spanish Canary Islands, La Palma.Ten pieces of emulsion films and nine of 1mm-thick lead plates were stacked with sandwich structure. This type of detector have strong noise reduction power. This was installed in front of the fracture/fault outcrop of La Palma Island in January, 2016. In June, we completed collection of all the films, we were able to successfully finish the observation with an effective area of 0.75 m2 and observation period 3 months. The image analysis and reconstruction of muon track was done except some amount of emulsion films. We are under summarizing the last results for submit this to the academic journal.
