NICHOL1	Preventing terrorism using cosmic ray muons
Type	Experimental
#students	2
Orientation	Why is the scientific problem of interest at all? The CREAM TEA project proposes to use the muon tomography technique to monitor large enclosed public spaces, such as train stations, for unusual dense objects, such as bombs
How	How is the research going to shed light on the given problem?. Cosmic ray muon tomography is an imaging technique that utilises cosmic rays to create images of matter density.
What	What is the specific thing that the student will do, and how does it fit inside the overall project? This project will research the feasibility of the method using a scintillator test-stand detector and standard particle physics simulation tools.
Special Knowlegde	C++
Supervisor	Dr Ryan Nichol r.nichol@ucl.ac.uk
