EEE COLLABORATION MEETING AT CREF
On July 7 and 8, Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) hosted the meeting of the EEE Collaboration (Extreme Energy Events Project). The experiment, a result of the collaboration between CREF and INFN (National Institute for Nuclear Physics), is dedicated to the study of cosmic rays and outreach activities in over 70 schools participating in the Project.
The President of CREF, Prof. Angela Bracco and the Scientific Director Prof. Salvatore de Pasquale, opened the meeting with a welcome address to all participants, both present and connected remotely, emphasizing the importance of teamwork that led the EEE Project to celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 2024.
Marco Garbini (CREF) and Francesco Noferini (INFN Bologna), respectively Spokesperson and Deputy Spokesperson of the project, opened the sessions with an introductory overview followed by presentations from the various experiment leaders: Cristina Ripoli (University of Salerno) for outreach, Ombretta Pinazza (INFN Bologna) for activities related to the POLA-R detectors, and Despina Hatzifotiadou (INFN Bologna) for R&D activities at CERN. The first day concluded with a talk by Rosario Nania (INFN Bologna) on organizing a cosmic ray flux measurement campaign by car from Bologna to Tromsø (Norway).
The second day featured an overview by Prof. Francesco Riggi (University of Catania) on publications and conference participation, followed by a review of ongoing analysis activities with contributions from Francesco Noferini, Ombretta Pinazza, and Paola La Rocca (University of Catania). The final presentation was by Aksieniia Shtimmerman (CNAF Bologna) on the computing aspects.
Many insights emerged during the various presentations, allowing the definition of the program of EEE Project activities for the coming months and years.
