Nuclear emulsion muography revealed a low-density zone at Stromboli volcano

Area of Science:

  • Geophysics
  • Particle Physics

Background:

  • Muography utilizes cosmic-ray muons to image the Earth's interior.
  • Volcanic edifices require advanced monitoring for stability and eruptive dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct the first nuclear emulsion muography experiment at Stromboli volcano.
  • To investigate the internal structure of the volcanic edifice and its implications for stability.

Main Methods:

  • Deployment of a 0.96 m² nuclear emulsion detector over five months.
  • Analysis of muon absorption patterns to infer density variations.
  • Utilizing cosmic-ray muons for passive imaging of the volcano's summit.

Main Results:

  • Identification of a significant low-density zone at the Stromboli summit.

  • Observed density contrast of 30-40% compared to surrounding bedrock.
  • Muon data provided spatial resolution of tens of meters.

    • Conclusions:

    • Muography can effectively image internal volcanic structures.
    • The identified low-density zone may influence eruptive dynamics and slope stability.
    • Periodic muographic imaging offers a valuable tool for monitoring volcanic evolution.
