Gulu la asayansi lidzagwiritsa ntchito kupita patsogolo kwa sayansi yamphamvu kwambiri kuti iwone Piramidi Yaikulu ya Cheops ku Giza pogwiritsa ntchito ma muons a cosmic ray.
Ofufuzawa akufuna kuyang'ana mozama mu chimodzi mwa zodabwitsa zisanu ndi ziwiri za dziko lapansi ndikuyika mapu a mkati mwa chinthucho. Ntchitoyi imatchedwa Explore the Great Pyramid (EGP). Pa ntchito, asayansi adzagwiritsa ntchito muon tomography. Kusiyana pakati pa EGP ndi polojekiti yapitayi, ScanPyramids, ndikuti dongosolo latsopano la ma telescopes a muon lidzakhala lamphamvu kwambiri nthawi 100.
EGP idzagwiritsa ntchito masensa akuluakulu omwe adzasunthira kumalo osiyanasiyana kunja kwa piramidi. Zowunikira zidzasonkhanitsidwa muzotengera zoyendetsedwa ndi kutentha kuti ziyende mosavuta. Iliyonse idzakhala 12m utali, 2.4m m'lifupi ndi 2.9m kutalika. Ponseponse, ntchitoyi iphatikiza ma telescope awiri a muon.
Cosmic ray muons amapangidwa pamene tinthu tating'ono tamphamvu tomwe timadziwika kuti cosmic ray timagwa mumlengalenga wa Dziko Lapansi. Kuwala kwa cosmic ndi zidutswa za ma atomu - ma protoni amphamvu kwambiri ndi ma nuclei a atomiki - omwe amawuluka mosalekeza kuchokera ku Dzuwa kupita ku Dziko Lapansi ndi kutuluka mu mlalang'amba. Tinthu tating'onoting'ono timeneti tikagundana ndi mlengalenga wa Dziko Lapansi, kugundaku kumatulutsa tinthu tating'onoting'ono. Zina mwa particles izi ndi muons.
Muons ndi osakhazikika komanso kuwola mu ma microseconds angapo (mamiliyoni a sekondi). Koma zimayenda pa liwiro loyandikana ndi liŵiro la kuwala. Izi zimawathandiza kuti alowe mkati mwa chinthucho. Pali gwero losatha la muons kuchokera ku kuwala kwa cosmic komwe kumawombera Dziko lapansi mosalekeza. Ntchito ya muon tomography ndikuyesa bwino tinthu tating'onoting'ono.
Muon tomography imagwiritsidwa ntchito m'njira zosiyanasiyana, monga kuyang'ana zotengera zotumizira zinthu zopanda pake. Zamakono zamakono zamakono mu muon tomography zimawonjezera mphamvu zake ndikuyambitsa ntchito zatsopano. Mwachitsanzo, asayansi ku Italy adzagwiritsa ntchito muon tomography kufotokoza mkatikati mwa Phiri la Vesuvius, kuyembekezera kumvetsetsa pamene lingaphulikanso.
Chithunzi: Kumanzere kuli chithunzi cha makontena omwe amapanga telesikopu. Kumanja kuli chithunzi chosonyeza mmene telesikopu idzakhazikitsidwira m’malo mwake.
