an intercultural opportunity exchange
“Measure what is measurable,and make measurable what is not so”
(Galileo Galilei)
1oth Centro Fermi projects meeting – EEE Project
6/7/8 march Turin
Aula Magna della Cavallerizza Reale Turin University.
Prof. Giacomo di Staso
Maria Chiara Samarelli
Silvia Di Fidio

2. Liceo “Staffa” TRINITAPOLI and Lyceum “Chuicov” MOSCOW
friendship and cooperation agreement

3. Liceo “Staffa” Trinitapoli – Lyceum “Chuikov” Moscow

4. TRIN-01 telescope monitoring
Russian teachers and students are particularly interested
in the Extreme Energy Events project

5. Many cultural, scientific and experimental activities were carried out during their stay
Lecture by prof. Marcello Abbrescia about the EEE Project Physics Department University of BARI

6. Lecture by prof. Marina Trimarchi about the use of the cosmic boxes and relative data analysis Liceo Staffa_Trinitapoli

7. Gargano (Puglia): Data taking
with Cosmic Boxes at different altitudes
12/10/2018
5 cosmic boxes
Altitudes : sea level + 5 m; s.l m; s.l.+829 m
Acquisition time: 30 minutes, with readings every 10 minutes
Excel data processing:
cosmics rate at different altitudes: ratio between the total # events and time
Error on frequency = square root(# events)/time;
normalized rate at each altitude putting 1 at altitude s.l.+ 829
histograms for each cosmic box
regression fit to the data rate vs. altitude

Some differences:
cosmic boxes number:
n. 15 in Erice - n. 5 on the Gargano promontory
Locations much closer to each other
on the Gargano
- On the Gargano promontory the taking of data was carried out at constant pressure and temperature
Puglia
Sicilia

13. Data analysis Comparison : Gargano October 2018 - Erice December 2017
The two slopes are very similar:
0,2636 Normalized frequency variation/km Erice data
0,2818 Normalized frequency variation/km Gargano data

14. Data analysis Comparison: normalized lines

15. Data taking using n. 4 cosmic boxes indoor, on the 1 st floor, and outdoor
05/11/2018
4 cosmic boxes
Altitude + 6,70 m; + 7,00 m; +11,00 m
Data taking duration: 60 minutes, with readings every 20 minutes
Excel data processing:
Histograms for each cosmic box
Normalization to the frequency measured outdoor
Frequency percentage variation for each cosmic box
average percentage variation

25. Some Lyceum Chuikov students, led by their teachers, have realised an app for the EEE Project
link

26. Example: TRIN-01 09/2/2019 – 10/02/2019
You choose the telescope, the time span, download the data, indicate what parameter to put on the abscissa axis

27. An example
You choose what parameter to put on the y-axis and get the plot with the chosen data

28. All scientific activities made during the first 10 years of partecipation to the EEE Project have been described in the book “NOI e l’UNIVERSO, dieci anni di ricerche” by professors Giacomo di Staso e Margherita Lafata. It contains an introduction by prof. Luisa Cifarelli, nice articles by prof. Antonino Zichichi, prof. Marcello Abbrescia and doctor Fabrizio Coccetti, and includes some interesting contributions by the students of Liceo Staffa

29. Many thanks for your attention
