Abstract: Various configurations of muon drift tubes for use in muon tomography are described and involve aluminum end caps coupled to an aluminum tube, an electrode in each of the end caps, and an anode wire extending between the electrodes. A two-part electrically conductive, gas-sealed, connection is located between an aluminum end cap and the aluminum tube. Methods of making those configurations of muon drift tubes are also described.
