Principles of Data Processing of the Muographic Experiment in the Cave Complex of Pskovo-Pechersky Monastery
摘要
Abstract
The paper reports on the study of the cave complex of the Holy Dormition Pskovo-Pechersky Monastery by the muography method. An original algorithm analyzing intersections of local maxima in angular distributions of muon fluxes, detected by different detectors, was developed to search for the hidden cavities. As a result, previously unknown underground spaces of significant size, with no direct access to them, were revealed. The obtained result, being of great interest for studying the history and archaeology of the cultural heritage site, demonstrates the unique capabilities of the muography method, which allows for investigating the internal structure of an object without its integrity violating.
