On November 22, 2022, the EEE Project will participate in the International Cosmic Day organized by link. As always, the ICD is 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, teachers, and researchers will come together to study cosmic rays.

For this edition of the ICD, the EEE Project has prepared an online meeting during which, alongside 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 details for joining. In particular, we encourage students to study the variation of cosmic ray flux as a function of the latitude where the measurement is taken.

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

By November 15, the EEE Project Schools that wish 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 simultaneously a one-page summary of their analysis(the important thing is that the report fits on one A4 page).

Also this year, the best presentation will be awarded a Cosmic Box!!!

Agenda

10:00 AM – Welcome to the Schools
10:10 AM – Seminar to be decided
11:00 AM – Schools' reports on data analysis

Proposed analysis, data, and instructions

On this occasion, we will use data recently acquired by the POLA-02 detector on board the Amerigo Vespucci. We will particularly try to study the variation of cosmic ray flux with latitude. We will have two sets of data acquired during two port stops, one in Ancona and one in Durres, as well as the entire dataset collected during the whole voyage.

Available data:

The data are in .csv files that can be analyzed using Excel (recommended choice and basis for the provided instructions) or similar spreadsheet programs.

• Download the data (compressed folder containing three .csv files).
• Use the instructions (download instructions) as a starting point for the analysis.
• Once the analysis is complete, please send the report as a .ppt file (maximum size 3 MB) to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. together with a one-page summary of the analysis according to the template found here (maximum report size 2 MB).
