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
The Politecnical School of the Federal University of Bahia will virtually visit the ATLAS Experiment to learn about the LHC accelerator, the ATLAS detector and some physics as performed at CERN. The visit will be coordinated by Professor Edmar Egídio Porcino de Souza and the Researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS) in Geneva, Switzerland. A Escola Politécnica da Universidade Federal da Bahia visitará virtualmente o Experimento ATLAS para aprender sobre o acelerador LHC, o detector ATLAS e um pouco da física realizada no CERN. A visita será coordenada pelo Professor Edmar Egídio Porcino de Souza e pelo Pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS) em Genebra, Suíça.
This virtual visit is part of the AP Physics 2 class from a small rural school. The class is visiting ATLAS as part of their preparation for World Wide Data Day (https://quarknet.org/content/world-wide-data-day).
The Colégio Espirito Santo in Tatuapé, São Paulo, will virtually visit the ATLAS Experiment at CERN, Switzerland, to learn about the LHC accelerator, the ATLAS detector and some physics. The visit is coordinated by professor Roberval Labs Alves Bandeira in Brazil and the researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS) at Geneva, Switzerland.
This virtual visit is a part of the ATLAS induction day offered for the new collaboration members.
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.
