The PolarquEEEst mission: Measuring the cosmic ray flux at the North Pole
The PolarquEEEst mission was designed and realised within the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project experiment, a strategic project of “Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi e Ricerche Enrico Fermi”, Rome. PolarquEEEst is a campaign to measure the cosmic rays flux at the highest latitudes which to...
