UNM and Los Alamos National Laboratory are cohosting the international 2024 Muographers Workshop, which will be held Nov. 4-7 in Santa Fe.

Adam Hecht, professor of nuclear engineering and UNM contact for the workshop, said the event “will bring together leading researchers, scientists and practitioners in the field of muography to share their latest discoveries, innovations and applications.”

Muography, also known as muon radiography or muon tomography, is a cutting-edge imaging technique that uses cosmic-ray muons to explore the interior of large and dense structures.

Registration is still open at muon.unm.edu.
