Beschreibung:
The MU-RAY detector has been designed to perform muon radiography of volcanoes. The possible use on the field introduces several constraints. First the electric power consumption must be reduced to the
minimum, so that the detector can be solar-powered. Moreover it must be robust and transportable, for what concerns the front-end electronics and data acquisition. A 1m2 prototype has been constructed and
is taking data at Mt.Vesuvius. The detector consists of modules of 32 scintillator bars with wavelength shifting fibers and silicon photomultiplier read-out. A dedicated front-end electronics has been developed, based on the SPIROC ASIC. An introduction to muon radiography principles, the MU-RAY
detector description and results obtained in laboratory will be presented.

scintillator bars provided by FERMILAB-NICADD. We are grateful
to Aldo Orlandi of the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN for polishing and mirroring the fibers.
