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
This visit is part of a school project, Physics and Peace. It targets the last year of secondary school.
On April 8th, the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ) will host a visit to the ATLAS detector at the LHC beam line at CERN, Switzerland. In the event, the students will be able to interact with a researcher from the experiment and pose questions on the detector, physics and much more. The visit is organised in Brazil by professor Marcia Begalli and in Geneva by the Researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS) at 19:30 in the Geneva time. No dia 8 de abril, a Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) sediará uma visita ao detector ATLAS na linha de feixe do LHC no CERN, Suíça. No evento, os alunos poderão interagir com um pesquisador do experimento e tirar dúvidas sobre o detector, física e muito mais. A visita é organizada no Brasil pela professora Marcia Begalli e em Genebra pelo pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS) as 14:30 no horário local.
The ATLAS virtual visit is designed for a group of secondary school students, serving as a complementary activity to the Physics Masterclasses Workshop.
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.
