On November 21, 2023, the EEE Project participates in the International Cosmic Day organized by DESY. As always, the ICD represents an event that allows us to deepen the study of cosmic rays and to exchange our experience with that of students from all over the world. Also this year students, professors and researchers are coming together to study cosmic rays.
For this edition of the ICD the EEE Project has prepared an online meeting during which students will be able to present the results of their analyses. On this page you will find the preliminary agenda.

In particular we propose an analysis to study the coincidences between the POLAR detectors installed in Ny Alesund (Svalbard).

 

The data to be analyzed and the details for the analysis are provided below.

By November 10, the EEE Project Schools that intend to participate can send the results of their studies to segreteriaeee@cref.it in the form of a presentation (.ppt or .pdf) and at the same time a summary of their analysis on a single page according to the template that you find here (it is not mandatory to be used and can be changed, the important thing is that the report fits on A4).
This year too, the best presentation will be rewarded with a Cosmic Box!!!

Proposed analysis, data and instructions

This year we are going to analyse the data collected by iPOLA-01 POLA-03 POLA-04 detectors at Ny Alesund (Svalbard).The data files contain the coincidences between POLA-01 and POLA-04 and POLA-04 e POLA-03. We will estimate the number of coincidences per day and also the variation of this number with the distance between the detectors distances.

The data

The data are in .csv format and you can use Excel or similar (our instructions are based on Excel).

- Download the data: .zip folder containing four .csv files, one relating to the coincidences between POLA-01 and POLA-04 and three relating to the coincidences between POLA-03 and POLA-04; NB: for easier data management with Excel, the coincidences between POLA-03 and POLA-04 have been divided into 3 .csv files and the information from the three files must therefore be merged for analysis (see instructions).

NB: Correct POLA-01 POLA-04 coincidence file

- Use the instructions (dowload instructions in italian) as starting point for the anlysis.

-Send theil report as .ppt file (max 3 MB) to segreteriaeee@cref.it together with the one page summary (template max 2 MB).

Good luck!!!

 

Il 21 novembre 2023 il Progetto EEE partecipa all’ International Cosmic Day organizzato da DESY. Come sempre l'ICD rappresenta un appuntamento che ci permette di approfondire lo studio dei raggi cosmici e di scambiare la nostra esperienza con quella degli studenti di tutto il mondo.
Per questa edizione dell’ICD il Progetto EEE ha preparato un meeting online durante il quale gli studenti potranno presentare i risultati delle loro analisi.

In questa pagina trovate l’agenda preliminare e le indicazione per l'analisi da svolgere.

In particolare proponiamo agli studenti di un'analisi sui dati dei rivelatori POLAR installati a Ny Alesund (Svalbard).

I dati da analizzare ed i dettagli per l’analisi sono forniti di seguito.

Entro il 10 novembre le Scuole del Progetto EEE possono inviare i risultati dei loro studi a segreteriaeee@cref.it in forma di presentazione (.ppt o .pdf) e contestualmente un riassunto della loro analisi in un’unica pagina secondo il template che trovate qui (non è da usare obbligatoriamente e si può cambiare, l’importante è che il report stia in un A4).
Anche quest’anno  la presentazione migliore sarà premiata con una Cosmic Box !!!

Analisi proposta, dati e istruzioni

In questa occasione useremo i dati acquisitidai rivelatori POLA-01 POLA-03 POLA-04 installati presso la staizone scientifica internazionale di Ny Alesund (Isole Svalbard). Avremo a disposizioni due file dati che contengono rispettivamente le coincidenze tra i rivelatori POLA-01 e POLA-04 e POLA-04 e POLA-03; l'analisi consiste nel valutare il numero di coincidenze al giorno e nello stimare la variazione di tale numero con la distanza dei rivelatori

I dati a disposizione:

I dati sono  in due file di tipo .csv (quindi analizzabili utilizzando Excel scelta consigliata e sulla quale si basano le istruzioni fornite o programmi di calcolo simili) e contenuti in una cartella compress.

- Scaricare i dati: cartella .zip contenente quattro file .csv uno relativo alle coincidenze tra POLA-01 e POLA-04 e tre relativi alle coincidenze tra POLA-03 e POLA-04; NB: per una più semplice gestione dei dati con Excel le coincidenze tra POLA-03 e POLA-04 sono state divise in 3 file .csv e vanno quindi unite le informazioni dei tre file per l'analisi (vedere le istruzioni).

NB: File corretto coincidenze POLA-01 POLA-04

- Utilizzare le istruzioni (scarica le istruzioni) come punto di partenza per l’analisi.

- Una volta completata l’analisi inviare il report in forma di file .ppt (dimensione massima 3 MB) a segreteriaeee@cref.it unitamente al riassunto in un’unica pagina secondo il template che trovate qui (dimensione massima del report 2 MB).

Per chiarimenti contattare marco.garbini@cref.it

Buon Lavoro!!!

EEEitalia 26Feb2019

The Project Extreme Energy Events - Science inside Schools (EEE), is a special Centro Femri research activity about the origin of cosmics rays, performed in collaboration with INFN  carried out with the essential contribution of students and teachers of high schools.

Each of the participating Institutes hosts a "telescope" made of the most advanced particle detectors (Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers, MRPC). EEE telescopes are put in coincidence using GPS, with the goal to detect cosmic muons and extensive showers (as large as a small town), produced by primary cosmic rays of the highest energy. Data from all telescopes are sent to CNAF-INFN, in Bologna, to allow track reconstruction so that all relevant information can be stored in a database to be later available for analysis.

Students are involved in the fundamental task to build the chambers, starting from simple materials to arrive to sophisticated high precision detectors. This task is accomplished at CERN, one of the most important particle physics laboratories in the world, which is made open to students specifically for this project. Students have also the task to control the correct operation of the telescope installed at their school.

Presently 60 high schools distributed across Italy host a telescope. Other 53 institutes participate to the project by analyzing data. More than 60 billion tracks have been collected in the past years and are presently studied by students and professional researchers performing interesting analysis, some of which have already been published in various international scientific journals.

Ecco di seguito la semplice procedura per eseguire il periodo di sospensione coordinata di un'ora dell'acquisizione dei telescopi EEE:

  • L'acquisizione dati va fermata per un'ora esatta.
  • Lo stop deve avvenire mercoledì 18 novembre alle ore 15:00:00 (con ragionevole approssimazione al meglio delle possibilità di ciascuno)
  • La ripartenza deve avvenire mercoledì 18 novembre alle ore 16:00:00 (con ragionevole approssimazione al meglio delle possibilità di ciascuno)
  • L'acquisizione va fermata semplicemente premendo il tasto STOP nel software DAQ.
  • L'acquisizione va fatta ripartire premendo il tasto START nel software DAQ.
  • L'orario di riferimento per tutti è riportato nell'orologio che ho implementato qui sotto :-)
