The PolarquEEEst scientific programme consists in a series of measurements of the cosmic ray flux up to the highest latitudes. It started in Summer 2018, when three telescopes made out of scintillators readout by SiPMs were built and installed in Italy, Norway and on a sailboat leaving from North Island, to circumnavigate the Svalbard archipelago and land in Tromsø.

/ Abbrescia, M (INFN, Bari ; Bari U.) ; Avanzini, C (INFN, Pisa ; Pisa U.) ; Arlandoo, M (Oslo U.) ; Balbi, G (INFN, Bologna) ; Baldini, L (INFN, Pisa ; Enrico Fermi Ctr., Rome ; Pisa U.) ; Ferroli, R Baldini (Frascati ; Enrico Fermi Ctr., Rome) ; Batignani, G (INFN, Pisa ; Pisa U. ; Enrico Fermi Ctr., Rome) ; Battaglieri, M (INFN, Genoa ; Genoa U. ; Jefferson Lab) ; Boi, S (INFN, Cagliari ; Enrico Fermi Ctr., Rome ; Cagliari U.) ; Cavazza, D (INFN, Bologna) et al.
The goal of the PolarquEEEst experiment was to measure the cosmic charged particle rate at latitudes greater than 66$^{\circ }$ N, where no systematic and accurate measurements at sea level have ever been performed. A latitude range well above the Arctic Circle was explored on board of a sailboat, up to the unprecedented northernmost value of $82^{\circ }07^{\prime }$ N. [...]

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 structure. In this contribution we report the results of two different measurements carried out in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Catania (with three floors above the ground and an underground basement), using one of the MRPC telescopes of the Extreme Energy Events project, in coincidence with two scintillator-based muon telescopes located in various positions inside the building.
