Abstract

The present work is involved in a series of joint studies of several Russian institutes on the investigation of archaeological objects in Russia by the muon radiography method. The method is applied to study the internal structure and hidden regions of large natural and industrial objects using muons. In this study, it is used to search for hidden objects in the Holy Trinity Danilov Monastery territory in the city of Pereslavl-Zalessky.
