On November 10, 2021, the EEE Project will participate again in the International Cosmic Day organized by DESY. Once again, the ICD represents an opportunity for us to deepen the study of cosmic rays and to exchange our experience with that of students around the world.
The strict safety and COVID-19 contagion prevention rules will partially limit contacts and the physical sharing of experiences.
For the ICD 2021 edition, the EEE Project has prepared an online meeting during which, together with presentations by researchers engaged in the study of cosmic rays, students will be able to present the results of their analyses. On this page you will find the meeting agenda and connection details. In particular, we propose that students to use data sed acquired by POLA-01 detector on the Nanuq boat on the 30th of July 2018 to study the muon's rate depending on the zenital angle of incidence.
The data to be analyzed and the details for the analysis are provided below.
By November 3, 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 A4 page.

Proposed analysis, data and instructions
On this occasion, we will use the data acquired by the POLA-01 detector on board the Nanuq on July 30, 2018; during that expedition, the boat ran aground and tilted in such a way that it was possible to study the muon rate as a function of the zenith angle of arrival. For a review of the POLA-01 detector, please refer to the following presentation.
Data available:
The data are in a .csv file type, so they can be analyzed using Excel (recommended choice and on which the provided instructions are based) or similar calculation programs. You will have three data sets available and can decide whether to analyze one or more.
- Download the data (data currently unavailable, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
- Use the instructions (download the instructions) as a starting point for the analysis.
- Once the analysis is complete, send the report in the form of a .ppt file (maximum size 3 MB) to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
