Abstract: 

The analysis of the different models of a plastic position-sensitive detector construction for muon tomography is discussed. The key feature of the detectors is the ability of, a passive registration of ionizing radiation from the inspected object. The optimal configuration of the detector has been determined, and its main parameters in both modes of operation has been assesed.

Keywords: 
plastic position-sensitive detector, muon tomography.
