“…The geographical area spanned by these telescopes exceeds 3×10 5 km 2 , namely the largest area in the world used for such kind of experiments. In order to operate as a real network, all collected data are sent in real time to the INFN CNAF computing center for storage and reconstruction [10].…”

The goal of the PolarquEEEst experiment was to measure the cosmic charged particle rate at latitudes greater than 66$$^{\circ }$$∘ N, where no systematic and accurate measurements at sea level have ever been performed. A latitude range well above the Arctic Circle was explored on board of a sailboat, up to the unprecedented northernmost value of $$82^{\circ }07^{\prime }$$82∘07′ N. In this paper a description of the experimental set-up is reported, then the procedures for calibration and data analysis are described in detail. The results show that the rate measured in this latitude range stays constant within a novel accuracy of $$\pm 1$$±1%.

“…Apart from that, a broad distribution is evident, which covers from approximately 20 km to more than 1200 km. The EEE network and the performance of the individual detectors have been described in many previous papers [26,27]. Here we will only briefly recall its main features and working parameters.…”

The existence of independent, yet time correlated, Extensive Air Showers (EAS) has been discussed over the past years, with emphasis on possible physical mechanisms that could justify their observation. The detector network of the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Collaboration, with its approximately 60 cosmic ray telescopes deployed over the Italian territory, has the potential to search for such events, employing different analysis strategies. In this paper, we have analyzed a set of EEE data, corresponding to an approximately five month observation period, searching for multi-coincidence events among several far telescopes, within a time window of 1 ms. Events with up to 12 coincident telescopes have been observed. Results were compared to expectations from a random distribution of events and discussed with reference to the relativistic dust grain hypothesis.

“…The average time resolution is approximately 240 ps, allowing a precise measurement of the time of flight between the top and bottom chamber. An efficiency better than 90% is reached by 77% of the chambers, with possible sources of inefficiencies related to ageing effects or/and dead strips [17,18]. The trajectory of the charged particles crossing a telescope is obtained by fitting the impact points reconstructed on the 3 MRPCs, which are placed at a distance of 50 cm from each other.…”
