The first event in frame of the International Masterclasses 2023 – with the Pierre Auger Observatory, on March 18, 2023, it has already taken place successfully, in parallel at three different locations (Funchal, Lisboa and Bucharest), from two European countries (Portugal and Romania).
The full day program of the event has contained two introductory lectures about particle and astroparticle physics, as well as experiments in astroparticle physics, and a hands-on session on data analysis. In total were reconstructed about 1130 of measured events at the Pierre Auger Observatory (from the Pierre Auger Open Data), by individual students from each participating institution, based on a friendly interactive browser. The obtained results were uploaded on a dedicated webpage, illustrating a sky map with the exposure or flux of the reconstructed ultra high energy cosmic rays events.
A tour at the Pierre Auger Observatory was also given through an international video-call, in common to all participants, accompanied with a Q&A session and a final Quiz.
