| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Producing precise 3 dimensional muographic volcano images, of a type similar to medical CAT scans, are fraught with challenges. Finding appropriate locations for placement of detectors on rough terrain,securing pathways for installation and obtaining commercial electric power are some of the difficulties researchers will find when attempting to conduct multi-directional, land-based muography experiments. Airborne muography was conceived to address these problems and make efficient muographic multi-directional images, taking advantage of a helicoptor's capacity to position the detector precisely and with relative ease at positions closer to the target volcano. The current study followed 3 stages: (1) customization of the parallel muography system to fit the requirements of the aircraft, (2) implementation of airborne muography observations, and (3) confirmation of the positional accuracy of the flight in order to realize the goals of this 3 dimensional volcano imaging trial.
