Abstract

The Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University conduct experiments using nuclear photoemulsion to study the internal structure of large objects via muon radiography. Analysis of an experiment in a mine in Obninsk belonging to the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences is of particular interest. Calculated and experimental data are presented.
