The Extreme Energy Events Project and its most recent results

The Extreme Energy Events Project is an experiment for the detec-tion of Extensive Air Showers (EAS). It consists of a sparse array of about 50 muontelescopes distributed throughout the Italian territory plus CERN, covering an areaof $3×10^5km2$. Its distinctive feature is that the telescopes, based on MultigapResistive Plate Chambers (MRPC), are housed in High Schools and managed bygroups of students and teachers. About$∼40×10^9$ muon tracks have been storedand analyzed since the first coordinated data taking in 2014. The analysis activityis currently in progress and focused on several items: coincidence searches of muonsfrom the same EAS and long distance correlations between different EAS, study oftime variations of the muon flux on ground level, searches for large scale cosmic rayanisotropy and for upward-going particles.
