An innovative noninvasive method of muonography based on emulsion detectors has been developed. The new method enables detection of changes in the fluxes of atmospheric muons passing through the object under study and determination of the specific features of its internal structure. Owing to the use of the state-of-the-art automated scanning facilities, large-scale studies of natural and industrial objects can be carried out that require processing of large quantity of photoemulsion. A major muonography experiment, in which the internal structure of buildings and the territory of the Svyato-Troitsky Danilov Monastery had been examined, is described in detail.

The method for visualizing the internal structure of objects (muography method) based on the analysis of the features of passages of atmospheric muons generated in cosmic ray interactions, is based on the spatial distributions of trajectories of penetrating muons recorded by detectors. The method is at the junction of elementary particle physics with many other areas of natural science, e.g., with archaeology. The article presents the results of a muographic study of two objects in the cave complex of a unique historical and archaeological monument, i.e., the Holy Dormition Pskovo-Pechersky Monastery. The experimental technique is based on nuclear emulsion detectors.
