Preliminary research on performance evaluation and TUCCI model for muon tomography

Muon tomography with cosmic ray muon is a novel technology for high-Z material detection. Preliminary research on performance evaluation method and models for muon tomography is introduced. Cube model and TUCCI model are introduced to evaluate the material discrimination capability and detection capability of high-Z material hidden in cargo container, line-pair model and hole model are introduced to evaluate the spatial resolution of muon tomography. The relationship between image quality and exposure time is also discussed.
