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 Physics Without Frontiers Workshop in Computational Cosmology and High Energy Physics, taking place at the University of Phayao, Thailand, is designed to introduce undergraduate students to essential computational techniques used in cosmology and high-energy physics. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on coding sessions, and interactive projects, participants will gain practical experience in simulations, data analysis, and numerical modelling, key skills for modern physics research. Lectures include Dr Kate Shaw, Dr Nandan Roy, and Dr Suphakorn Chunlen, along with online guest speakers including Professor John Ellis.
Virtual Visit of the Federal Technical School (CEFET) Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro at the COPPE/Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (http://www.espaco.coppe.ufrj.br) to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN/Switzerland. The students will be able to view parts of the detector as well as interact with experts on the field. The visit will be coordinated by Professora Marcia Begalli in Brazil and Researchers Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) and Luciano Manhães de Andrade Filho (UFJF) in the ATLAS Control room. Visita Virtual do CEFET Nova Iguaçu na COPPE/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (http://www.espaco.coppe.ufrj.br) ao Experimento ATLAS no CERN/Suiça. Os estudantes poderão ver partes do detector assim como interagir com especialistas no campo. A Visita será coordenada pela Professora Marcia Begalli e os Pesquisadores Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) e Luciano Manhães de Andrade Filho (UFJF) na sala de controle do detector ATLAS.
Year 12 students who have studied particle physics. To get greater understanding of what happens at cern and potentially the variety of careers there.
Virtual Visit to the ATLAS Experiment with Kultur Koleji and Kultur 2000 Koleji students and teachers. Participants will explore the ATLAS Experiment remotely, learn about particle physics, and interact live with CERN scientists.
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.
