Abstract
Model simulations of test experiments on muon radiography for several configurations of voids in the ground and different muon detector positions are presented. The sensitivity of the method for the considered cases is estimated. This study lays the basis for quantitative analysis of data in muon radiography and can be used for planning future experiments.
