Results of the model experiment on cosmic muon radiography of a mountain

The results of the model experiment on cosmic muon radiography of a mountain with an object placed in it are presented. Scales of the difference between muon fluxes passed and not passed through the object are shown. The results for objects with densities higher and lower than that of basic ground are compared. The simulation results for the case with two detectors, which allows the determination of the object position in space, are presented. To estimate the degree of the uncertainty associated with muon rescattering in materials, events of muon of passage in iron and ground are simulated in wide energy and length ranges using the GEANT4 package. The results are presented as distributions of the number of events over the final energy and deflection angle as functions of the primary energy and the muon pathlength in a medium.
