The discovery of the muons-chamber in the Great pyramid; could high-precision microgravimetry also map the chamber?

In this study we have investigated the question as to whether highly accurate microgravimetric measurements on the side of a pyramid could also map the recently discovered muon chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Exploiting the technical capabilities of modern gravimeters, we performed three-dimensional model calculations with realistic model parameters obtained from published literature. Under ideal experimental conditions researchers are able to measure relatively small gravity effects around -1 x 10(-7) ms(-2). However, to transfer the model scenario to investigating the real-world pyramid chamber we need to know what the chamber may contain - such knowledge can help in estimating a more realistic result.

Automated summary

This study investigates the use of highly accurate microgravimetric measurements to map the recently discovered muon chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza. By using modern gravimeters and realistic model calculations, researchers aim to understand the composition and structure of the pyramid chamber.
