| Publication Abstract: | The goal of the PolarquEEEst experiment was to measure the cosmic charged particle rate at latitudes greater than 66deg. 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 82deg.07'N. In this paper a description of the experimental set-up is reported, then the procedures for calibration anddata analysis are described in detail. The results show that the rate measured in this latitude range stays constant within a novel accuracy of ±1%. |
