Abstract
Optical ghost imaging exploits the correlation between two light beams to reproduce the image of a remote object without employing imaging optics or high-resolution detectors near the object. In this paper we propose and investigate the implementation of the ghost imaging protocol using correlated massive particles, namely, muons from cosmic ray air showers. The project Extreme Energy Events (EEE) offers a platform to study the feasibility of ghost imaging with such naturally available massive particles. Our analysis is based on coincidence detection between two neighbor schools of L’Aquila, where EEE muon telescopes operate. The observed coincidences show spatio-temporal correlations indicating the potentialities of this naturally available source for practical applications such as remote sensing. The demonstration of ghost imaging with massive particles will pave the way for the extension to particles of many other intriguing quantum optical phenomena involving classical and non-classical correlations.
