The general meeting of the Extreme Energy Events Project– Science in Schools has just ended at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro dell’INFN.
Hundred students and teachers from schools across Italy participated in the event in person, together with EEE researchers, and many others followed remotely.
During the three days, from 27 to 29 November, some seminars were held on the activities of the EEE project and PolarquEEEst ("spin off" of EEE for the measurement of cosmic rays near the North Pole) and on some researches that are carried out at the Legnaro Laboratories, such as nuclear astrophysics and the production of radionuclides for medicine.
The students had the opportunity to visit the experimental areas of the laboratories and discover the activities taking place inside them. The central event of the meeting was a masterclass in which the students measured the Legnaro EEE telescope efficiency, starting form data aqusiition to analysis and report of the results. The students of the EEE project, in fact, actively participate in the study of the performance of the detectors with the new low environmental impact mixture that the EEE collaboration has identified as part of its ecological transition.
More than 30 schools of the E.E.E. Project participated in the International Cosmic Day 2023. During this edition of the event, hundreds of students followed the seminar by Professor Pasquale Blasi, of the Gran Sasso Science Institute, entitled "The universe that the eye does not see: High Energy Cosmic Accelerators", an interesting journey to the origin of cosmic rays.
The day continued with the presentations of the schools focused on the analysis of data from the POLAR detectors, located at the international scientific station of Ny Alesund: the students studied the coincidences between pairs of detectors. On the occasion of the event, students and professors from high schools in Rome and Lazio followed the ICD from the Fermi Hall of Centro Fermi.
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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. unitamente al riassunto in un’unica pagina secondo il template che trovate qui (dimensione massima del report 2 MB).

Thirty high school classes from all over Italy and numerous students and professors belonging to the EEE Project participated in the International Cosmic Day 2021 - the international day dedicated to the physics of cosmic rays - taking part in the webinar that the Enrico Fermi Research Center and INFN they organized on November 10th. The meeting, moderated by Dr. Silvia Pisano, CREF researcher, was articulated through the contributions of Dr. Giuseppe Gallo (Muonic Tomography of Etna) of the University and INFN section of Catania, of Prof. Daniele De Gruttola ( Cosmic ray flow vs. direction) of the University and INFN section of Salerno, and the presentations of the four best analyzes carried out by the schools: the Liceo Scacchi of Bari, the Liceo Galvani of Bologna, the Liceo Righi of Rome and the IIS Staffa of Trinitapoli. International Cosmic Day is an international event born 10 years ago, coordinated by the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) of Hamburg, and aims to bring students closer to science by accompanying them in the discovery and study of cosmic rays.
From 17 to 19 November 2021, eleven schools of the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project met in person at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Center for Scientific Culture in Erice for the workshop "1st Meeting of the EEE Project after COVID shutdown"; the meeting, organized by CREF and INFN, brought together 50 students and teachers in person and more than 250 participants remotely connected.
The EEE Project is performing an ecological transition, so the heart of the meeting was the Masterclass: “Ecogas for EEE stations - Data analysis on ecological mixtures”. The students of the Project had the opportunity to analyze the data recently acquired by some telescopes of the EEE network, in which the standard gas mixture was replaced by different mixtures with low Global Warming Power (GWP). The students discussed the results of the tests, also presenting their original contribution: the best works were awarded at the end of the workshop.
The agenda (https://agenda.centrofermi.it/event/197/timetable/#20211117) included also three seminars dedicated to coincidences between distant detectors, the PolarquEEEst mission and Physics applied to the archaeological sector, a contribution that prepared the students for the visit to the Lilibeo Museum in Marsala, which took place during the morning of the second day of the meeting.
The great success of this initiative represents a first step towards the restart of the activities of the EEE Project.
