Muons can be classified into cosmic ray muons and accelerator muons based on their origins. Cosmic ray muons stand out for wide energy range, strong penetrating power and no artificial radiation. These characteristics make cosmic ray muon imaging technology adept at achieving nondestructive imaging of target objects. Presently, the commonly used imaging methods include scattering and transmission imaging technologies that leverage muon information for imaging. Additionally, muon and muonic secondary particle coincidence imaging technology utilizes information from secondary particles generated during the interaction between muons and target objects for imaging. The accelerator muon, distinguished by its high flux, strong monochromaticity, and adjustable energy, enables rapid and multidimensional imaging of target objects at various depths. Furthermore, it facilitates the analysis of material elements through muonic X-rays. This article provides insights into the production process and physical characteristics of muons, the fundamental principles of muon imaging technology, and its diverse applications across disciplines.
