Cosmic-ray muon spin rotation in Fe and industrial application
Abstract
Spin polarized positive muons contained in the cosmic-rays were stopped in the Fe plates providing a characteristic spin rotation signal of decay positrons. This signal along with the decay lifetime of the negative muons can be used as a non-invasive radiographic measurement method for a characterization of the inner structure of the aged architectures. Principle, results of test experiments and future prospects are described.
