ATLAS Virtual Visits
A Virtual Visit is a live video connection by a group (typically a classroom) to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. A guide, who is a scientist or an engineer working on the experiment, meets visitors from the control room or (during planned LHC shutdowns) from the detector underground.
During a Virtual Visit, guides will
- Introduce themselves and describe their work in particle physics.
- Present CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the ATLAS experiment, including its goals and accomplishments.
- Invite questions from the audience.
We recommend audiences prepare questions ahead of time. This can be facilitated by viewing this introductory video.
Group Virtual Visits
Groups of at least 10 visitors (such as classrooms) can schedule their own visit by completing this form.
Upcoming Group Visits
The participants in this virtual visit are a group of 16-17-year-old students who have just learnt a bit about Particle Physics and would love to learn how particles are accelerated, studied and discovered.
The participants in this virtual visit are pupils at the Kittredge Magnet School that will have a brief introduction to particle physics. They would like to discuss research currently being conducted with a general explanation.
The Federal Institute of Bahia, Vitória da Conquista campus will have virtual visit on December 09th, 2022 the ATLAS experiment @ CERN in Switzerland. The visit is organised in Brazil by Professor Selma Rozane Vieira and will be hosted at CERN by the researchers Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/CERN), Juan Lieber Marin (Instituto Federal da Bahia, but presently at CERN) and Edmar de Souza (LPNhE de Sorbonne). O Instituto Federal da Bahia, campus Vitória da Conquista visitará virtualmente em 09 de Dezembro de 2022 o experimento ATLAS no CERN, Suíça. A visita será organizada no Brasil pela professora Selma Rozane Vieira e será coordenada no CERN pelos pesquisadores Denis Oliveira Damazio, Juan Lieber Marin (Instituto Federal da Bahia, mas no momento no CERN) e Edmar de Souza (LPNhE de Sorbonne).

This virtual visit is a closing event of a local calibration organised by the ATLAS team of Cosenza in Italy for the 10th anniversary of the Higgs boson discovery. The event is open to a few high schools in Cosenza city.
Open Virtual Visits
We also schedule periodic open visits that can be joined by individuals or small groups. You can find them in the list on this page. Select the Open Virtual Visit of the date/time/language that best fits, click on it and register.
