Abstract
The Extreme Energy Event (EEE) Project is a cosmic ray physics experiment with outreach and educational purposes. The experiment is designed to study high energy cosmic rays through the detection of the Extensive Air Shower’s (EAS) muon component. The array of muon telescopes is based on Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) syncronized via GPS in order to correlate the information collected by different telescopes. The Project involves 70 schools from all over Italy with an intensive outreach program: students can actively contribute and participate in the EEE research activities. The EEE Collaboration is leading an ecological transition to replace the existing gas mixture with an eco-friendly one. Having shown encouraging results, the new eco-gas mixture —based on C3H2F4 and Helium— has already been deployed in some of the telescopes allowing the restart of data taking.
