Measurement campaigns of the cosmic ray flux at different latitudes within the Extreme Energy Events Project
Measurements of the cosmic ray flux at large latitudes, close to the Arctic Circle, were carried out in the last years by the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Collaboration on board of a small boat, sailing from 66° to 82° N. A compact, scintillator-based, cosmic ray telescope was employed during such campaign. These measurements were later complemented at smaller latitudes, across Europe, from 35° to 52° N, by additional data taking campaigns. More recently, data were also obtained by installing the detector on board of the Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci, during a three weeks-long travel around Italy, which covered the latitude range 38°- 46° N, partially overlapping with previous measurements. An ongoing initiative with the same detector is also in progress to exploit the latitude range from about 50° to 70° N by a car trip across North Europe. A survey of this activity and the main results achieved so far, together with its impact also on the overall outreach initiatives of the EEE Project, will be given in this contribution.
