2024 August 10 Alexander Ordentlich (Bowdoin College, USA) completed his summer internship in the HUN-REN Wigner RCP in collaboration of our research group between 10 June and 9 August. Alex constructed and tested gaseous particle detectors and learned the basics of data analysis during the internship.
2024 July 22 Two members of our research group, namely Boglárka Abigél Stefán and Bence Rábóczki are awarded with state scholarships to do their PhD studies at the Earth Science Doctorate School of Eötvös Loránd University. Congratulations!
2024 June 20-21 A member of our group has contributed to the muon detector installation works conducted in Sos Enattos mine, Sardinia, Italy. The aim of muographic measurements is to explore the rock structure above the Einstein Telescope (ET) and to measure the cosmic background of the planned experiments.
2024 June 17 Konstantin Borozdin (Decision Sciences International Corporation and Sandia Research Center), a pioneer of muon scattering imaging gave a talk entitled Cosmic-Ray Radiography: History and Applications at the seminar of the High-Energy Physics Department of HUN-REN Wigner RCP.
2024 May 25 László Oláh was awarded the Jánossy Lajos Prize of Roland Eötvös Physical Society for his significant contributions to the development and application Sakurajima Muography Observatory for volcano monitoring, specifically for measuring plug formation, quantifying tephra deposition and erosion, and explaining the link between eruption frequency and ground deformation.
2024 April 6 The "Magyar Geofizikusok Egyesületének Ifjúsági Bizottsága" and the "Magyarhoni Földtani Társulat Ifjúsági Bizottsága" organized the "Ifjú Szakemberek Ankétját" in Egerben on 5-6 April. Boglárka Abigél Stefán és Bence Rábóczki presented their muographic researches at this conference. Bence got a 2nd prize in the Applications Section with his talk entitled "Exploring the inner structure of the Esztramos Mountain using muographic measurements". Congratulations to both Young Researchers and their supervisors, namely Gergő Hamar, László Balázs and Gergely Surányi!
2024 April 2 From March 27 to March 29 two members of our research group installed an MWPC-based Muography Observation System (MMOS) at Unzen volcano, Japan. The muographic surveying will be conducted in collaboration with Sabo Frontier Foundation, Japan. The aim of the measurement is to charaterizing structural features of a lava deposit that is located on the peak of the volcanic edifice. This muographic surveying is expected to be contribute to the protection of surrounding area.
2024 March 1 From February 22 to February 29 two members of our research group installed an MWPC-based Muography Observation System (MMOS) at the Samail Ophiolite at Wadi Fizh, Oman. The muographic surveying will be conducted in collaboration with the Kanazawa University, Japan and the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) of the Sultanate of Oman. The aim of the measurement is to study the Moho transition zone located between the crustal and mantle layers exist in this ophiolite. The scientific background of this project has been published in the conference proceedings entitled " Plans for Muography of Samail Ophiolite " in Journal of Advanced Instrumentation in Science.
2024 January 1 The High-Energy Geophysics Research Group has been launched with the support of HUN-REN Welcome Home and Foreign Researcher Recruitment Programme 2023 (KSZF-144/2023).
