Since 2019, the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project has installed three muon detection stations at the Svalbard Islands ( 78.9° N latitude), employing scintillator-based detectors. This initiative represents the first systematic effort to monitor cosmic-muons rates at high geomagnetic latitudes beyond the Arctic Circle, with the objective of improving our understanding of cosmic-ray propagation and modulation in polar regions.

Abstract

Since 2019, the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project has installed three muon detection stations at the Svalbard Islands ( 78.9° N latitude), employing scintillator-based detectors. This initiative represents the first systematic effort to monitor cosmic-muons rates at high geomagnetic latitudes beyond the Arctic Circle, with the objective of improving our understanding of cosmic-ray propagation and modulation in polar regions. The present study analyses temporal variations in the muon detection rates over a six-year period (2019–2025), including the study of periodic modulations and underlying trends in the observed rates.
