Abstract

Abstract. In order to investigate the complex nature of the landslides triggered by rainfall, dynamic muon radiography of the motion of the underground water table is performed in a the drainage tunnel drilled underneath an the estimated fault plane. However, the humidity inside the tunnel is almost 100%. In order to suppress the moisture effect, a scintillation counter with Cockcroft-Wwalton photomultipler tubes (CW-MPT) was developed and tested at the observation site. The counter was stably operated for 38 days without gain degrading. Based on the result, we constructed a muon detection system with CW-PMTs at the same site and started operation runs. In this work, the data from borehole-based measurement of the underground water levels were analyzed and discussed. It was confirmed that the comparison between muon and borehole data would be useful.
