Radiography using cosmic-ray electromagnetic showers and its application in hydrology
Abstract In-situ measurements of soil water content provide important constraints on local/global hydrology. We demonstrate that the attenuation of the underground flux of cosmic-ray electromagnetic (EM) particles can be used to monitor the variation of soil water content after rainfalls. We develop...
