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 Virtual Visits
On December 3, 2024, the International Institute of Physics, located at UFRN, will hold a virtual visit to the ATLAS Experiment at 10 am (Brazil time) and 2 pm (Geneva time) where students will have the opportunity to discuss with detector experts about particle physics, detectors and particle accelerators. The event is organized in Brazil by professors Amadeu Albino (IFRN) and Fernando Wellysson (IIF/UFRN) and in Geneva/Switzerland by researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS). No dia 03 de dezembro de 2024, o Instituto Internacional de Física, localizado na UFRN, realizará visita virtual ao Experimento ATLAS às 10h (horário de Brasil) e 14h (horário de Genebra) onde os alunos terão a oportunidade de discutir com especialistas do detector sobre física de partículas, detectores e aceleradores de partículas. O evento é organizado no Brasil pelos professores Amadeu Albino (IFRN) e Fernando Wellysson (IIF/UFRN) e em Genebra/Suíça pelo pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS).
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is a not-for-profit organisation in Australia that encourages young people to pursue their passion for STEM. As part of the NYSF Year 12 Program, students commencing year 12 will join CERN researchers online to discuss the fantastic work done there.
