Abstract

The paper[1] presented a novel muon radiography technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb scattering of these particles for nondestructive inspection without the use of artificial radiation. In this paper, a new kind algorithm named Ratio Algorithm was proposed for imaging with the test object. The experimentally produced cosmic-ray muons radiographs was reconstructed. The more important, the reconstruction was made using data from only 793 muons.
