Search for Solar Energetic Particles with AMS-02

In this activity, you are challenged to identify particles accelerated by the Sun, called Solar Energetic Patricles mesured by Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) a particle detector flying onboard the International Space Station (ISS).

After you have found your SEP event, you will compare it with other teams’ events to discover which SEP event is the most intense, which has the highest energy SEPs, and more.
