Due to their penetration capability, cosmic muons may provide a way to monitor the alignment and possible long term deformations of large structures, such as historical or other civil buildings. The basic idea behind this possibility is to look for any misalignment between position-sensitive detectors, fixed to different parts of the structure,...

Due to their efficiency, tracking capabilities and long-term operational conditions, Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) may be used in a stable location in coincidence with additional detectors fixed to other parts of a civil building, to detect relative displacements of different parts of the building due to long term deformations of the...

The Extreme Energy Events experiment (EEE), a strategic project of Centro Fermi, aims to study Extensive Air Showers (EAS) with a network of Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) detectors, mainly installed in Italian high schools. The network presently counts 59 muon telescopes, each composed by three planes of MRPC. The total covered area...

During the summer of 2018 the PolarQuest 2018 ship expedition cruised to the North Pole region. One of the four experiments installed on the boat was PolarquEEEst, a cosmic ray detector developed within the Extreme Energy Events project. The PolarquEEEst purpose is to measure the cosmic ray flux at sea level and at extreme latitudes in a very...
