Search for anomalous EEE multi-telescope events F.Riggi in collaboration with P.La Rocca, C.Pinto, F.Noferini EEE Meeting, March 6, 2019

Current strategies to search for long distance correlations EEE as an extended network has the capability to search for long distance correlation through different analysis strategies: ● Correlation between local extensive air showers detected by telescope pairs Analysis already performed, few candidate events found, Conference contributions and paper (EPJPlus) published ● Correlation between multi-track events detected in any two telescopes Analysis partially done, in progress.. Conference contribution to CRIS2018, additional paper to be prepared? ● Correlation between single-track events detected in MANY telescopes Analysis started, results from about 5 months data taking (this contribution)

Correlation between MANY EEE telescopes ● No specific physical mechanism already known able to explain the existence of multi-particle correlations over a huge area ● Underlying idea: Search for possible unexpected events ● Strategy: Consider all possible correlations between 2, 3, … N among N telescopes working and look for events outside the expected spurious rate ● Compare results to expected spurious rate between N telescopes (not trivial) ● Integrate over long data taking periods (> months)

A first look at EEE data Analysis of a recent EEE dataset (October 2018 – February 2019) Computing strategies: ● Process all reconstructed data on a day-by-day basis (.dst files) from all telescopes and build daily spectra of the number of telescopes in coincidences within 1 ms ● Assumed a reasonable time window of 1 ms to check for coincidences ● Consider the number of active telescopes day-by-day ● Minimum bias requirement for event selection: - Reliable GPS information (Nsatellites >3) - At least a reconstructed track

Operating telescopes Distribution of operating telescopes over ~ 5 months data taking Average number ~ 30

Operating telescopes Average number of active telescopes as a function of time

One day data taking Distribution of the number of EEE telescopes in coincidences in a time interval of 1 ms (1 day data taking) 1 day = 86400*1000 1 ms-bins Events with up to 10 coincident telescopes observed

Statistics analyzed so far 5 months data taking Events with up to 12 coincident telescopes observed Event Rate for 12-fold coincidences between telescopes: ~(3-5) x 10 -7 s

Estimate of spurious rates Expected average spurious rate for a specific combination of k telescopes R_spurious ~ N (R_single)k x ∆t k-1 This should be multiplied by the number of possible combinations of k telescopes out of N working telescopes:

Estimate of spurious rates Number of possible combination of telescopes out of 30 working

Estimate of spurious rates Assumed: 30 working telescopes Average single rate from all telescopes: 29 Hz (estimated on March 2nd)

Estimate of spurious rates Calculated: 4 10-7 Hz for 12 telescopes, in agreement with observed rate

What we (un)expect…… Observing one or more events in this area (where the background is <0.01 events) would be an unusual signature!

Work in progress Better estimation of average number of running telescopes day by day Better estimation of average single rates Estimate of expected rate distribution (as a function of N) and comparison to experimental data Scan additional statistics of previous data taking? Put an upper limit for this topology of events
