DARPA seeks portable muon-making machine to see through almost anything
[…]
DARPA imagines using muons to do things like scanning buildings “to characterize internal structures and detect the presence of threat materials such as special nuclear materials.”
“Other potential applications include rapidly mapping the location of underground tunnels and chambers hundreds of meters below the Earth’s surface,” the Agency asserts.
