Troy Project

This project organized by Professor Carlsmith is a study of techniques used to look into the Earth with possible application to an archaeological expedition to Troy. In particular, a feasibility study of using cosmic ray muon attenuation and scattering to image subsurface structures is being performed with GEANT simulations with the goal of evaluating time and resolution and size tradeoffs with realistic models based on the Troy citadel.

Other techniques being reviewed for possible application are):

  • Magnetometry - passive and active detection based on magnetic susceptibility.

  • Radiometry - use of ground penetrating radar.

  • Graviometry - Surface surveys of gravitational field variations and reconstruction.
