Abstract: A longitudinally extending detector drill rod is connectable at each of its longitudinal ends to another drill rod in a drill string and is deployable, as part of the drill string, to a location below a surface of the earth for detecting cosmic ray muons that penetrate the surface of the earth. The detector drill rod comprises: a drill rod bore-defining surface that defines a longitudinally extending drill rod bore; and one or more muon sensors located in the drill rod bore, the one or more muon sensors responsive to muons interacting therewith.
