LouMu is a scientific research project combining particle physics and geophysics in order to map large geologic structures, using the Muon Tomography technique.
The partners in the projects are LIP – Laboratory for Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics, the Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Évora, and the Mine of Science – Lousal Ciência Viva Science Centre, also with LNEG collaboration.
