  Purpose: A geometric simulation of a possible two-plane detector was
developed to test the abilities of the detector to generate high-resolution
images of the Great Pyramid using muon tomography. Methods and Materials:
Trajectory range, angular resolution, and acceptance of the detector were
calculated with a simulation. Trajectories and the corresponding sinogram space
covered were simulated first with one detector in one location, and then two
moving detectors on adjacent sides of the pyramid. The resolution at the center
slice of the pyramid was calculated using the angular resolution of the
detector. Results: The simulation returned trajectory range encompassing the
pyramid and peak angular resolution of .0004sr. Sinogram space covered by one
position was inadequate, however two moving detectors on adjacent sides of the
pyramid cover a significant portion. Resolution at the center of the pyramid is
roughly 3m. Conclusions: The simulation provides a way to calculate the
detector positions needed to cover an adequate amount of sinogram space for
high-resolution cosmic-ray tomographic reconstruction of the Great Pyramids.
