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.

Visit Description

This Virtual Visit is a part of Celebrating 70 Years of CERN which will be hosted by the Center for Particle Physics Siegen (CPPS) at the University of Siegen. This event is part of the German-wide celebration of CERN's 70th anniversary, a milestone in particle physics and scientific discovery. The event offers high school students an opportunity to explore the cutting-edge research and technological marvels of the ATLAS experiment, which plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. Guided by expert physicists, participants will learn about the groundbreaking discoveries made at CERN, including the Higgs boson, and get an insider's view of how the ATLAS detector works. This tour will highlight the history and achievements of CERN over the past 70 years and aim to inspire the next generation of scientists by showcasing the exciting future of particle physics.
