DESCRIPTION:Speakers: IMPONENTE\, Giovanni (Museo Storico della Fisica\, C
 entro Studi e Ricerche "E. Fermi"\, Roma and INFN Laboratori Nazionali di 
 Frascati)\nThe EEE (Extreme Energy Event) Project is an extensive air show
 er experiment devoted\nto the study of very high energy events through the
  detection at ground of the muon\ncomponent of the shower. The detectors a
 re installed inside many Italian High\nSchools\, involving students in the
  experiment. The detector used is a tracking\ntelescope made of 3 planes o
 f Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs)\, a\nsimplified\, large and c
 heap version of the detector designed for the time of flight\nmeasurements
  (TOF) of the ALICE experiment at LHC. Exploiting the concept of the\nmult
 iple small gas gaps combined with the use of high gain and fast gas mixtur
 e\n(Freon and SF6 based)\, the MRPCs show an overall time resolution of 10
 0 ps. The\nparticle tracking is performed equipping MRPCs with 24 copper s
 trips read at both\nends by front end electronics based on NINO ASIC and u
 sing commercial multi-hit TDCs.\nThe MRPCs for the EEE experiment are buil
 t at CERN by Italian High School students\nand teachers under the supervis
 ion of INFN and Centro “E. Fermi” experts. After\nconstruction they ar
 e shipped to Italy and after preliminary tests they are installed\ninside 
 the schools.\nHere we present the status and first results of the already 
 operating stations.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx/event/4/session/62
