Muonic X-ray elemental analysis is a non-destructive technique that can be used to study the elemental composition of a whole sample: from micrometres down to centimetres below its surface. Some of the current applications of this technique are to determine the composition of ancient archaeological samples, which cannot sustain any type of physical damage, and also to study meteorites, biological samples and functional materials. This project aims to develop a robust method to model the muonic X-ray spectra quantitatively. This can be achieved by numerically solving the Dirac equation, that describes all the muon transitions occurring in the experiment. The theoretical and methodological developments will be implemented in MuDirac, which is a modern, open-source, sustainable software tool that is being used to aid in muonic X-ray elemental analysis.

Muonic X射线元素分析是一种非破坏性技术，可用于研究整个样品的元素组成：从微米降至其表面以下。该技术的一些当前应用是为了确定无法维持任何类型的物理损害的古代考古样本的组成，还可以研究陨石，生物样品和功能材料。该项目旨在开发一种可靠的方法来定量建模Muonic X射线光谱。这可以通过数值求解Dirac方程来实现，该方程描述了实验中发生的所有若恩转变。理论和方法论发展将在Mudirac实施，Mudirac是一种现代，开源，可持续的软件工具，用于帮助Muonic X射线元素分析。
