<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>ATLAS physicists Barbara Alvarez Gonzalez and Steven Goldfarb at CERN interact with students in Kathmandu, Nepal and Punjab, India. This was the first time that a collaborative virtual visit took place between CERN and two South Asian countries. The visit followed Masterclasses that were organized simultaneously in both India and Nepal. The students in each country had worked all morning measuring W bosons in real ATLAS data. During the virtual visit, they compared and discussed their results. In India, more than 70 A-level students from public and private schools in and around Jalandhar, Punjab participated in the Masterclass led by Ashok Kumar, Ashutosh Bhardwaj, Ravjeet Kour, and Suman Beri. In Nepal, Joerg Stelzer, Kate Shaw, and Suyog Shrestha led the Masterclass for undergraduate students from Kathmandu University and Tribhuvan University. The two-day Masterclass was a part of Physics Without Frontiers, an International Centre for Theoretical Physics project, in partnership with CERN. The programme’s goal is to inspire students, interest them in the nature of fundamental research, encourage them to consider a science-based academic career and introduce them to CERN and high-energy particle physics.</p>
