This would basically require a LHC-like particle accelerator.

However, we can acquire data for more time (depending on the detector technology), which will give us more statistics.

If someone has the authorization to bore a hole, it will be much smaller than that (the current target would be 1-2 inches).

Co-author here.

This is not the same method at all and this is much more reliable. For King Tut, they used ground penetration radar, which is very hard to interpret. Here: (1) this is confirmed by 3 independent teams using 3 different detection technologies, (2) we used the same statistical criteria as for discoveries in particle physics (deviation 5 sigma from the model).

In addition, we clearly see the new void on Nagoya's data (Fig.2).

Unfortunately, cosmic-ray muons cannot be used in King Tut tomb because we can only see "above us" (the muons come from the sky).

Alvarez was in a different pyramid (Kephren) and from a single point of view.

Also, the precision of the detectors improved a lot since the sixties (this is the kind of detectors that are used in the LHC, for instance).
