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 Undergraduate students visiting the High Energy Group activities at the Institute of Physics of Academia Sinica in Taiwan. This visit aims to provide an overview of the LHC and ATLAS experiment and to highlight the Taiwanese contribution.
The participants in this virtual visit are students in high school students in universities in Japan. They are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Higgs boson discovery.
The participants in this virtual visit are first-year physics students who want an insight into CERN and ATLAS experiment.
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.
