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
ASUPD's 3rd annual virtual visit of CERN for digital Physics and Chemistry students.
The Science Club of the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) will be at EXPOTEC on the São Gonçalo do Amarante-RN Campus on July 4, 2025, also to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs Boson. At this event, the Club will make a virtual visit to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN, Switzerland. The visit will be coordinated by professors Amadeu Albino Junior and Evanildo Vicente de Oliveira Nunes in Brazil and by researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (ATLAS/BNL-CERN) in Switzerland.
