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. O Clube das Ciências do Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) estará na EXPOTEC do Campus de São Gonçalo do Amarante-RN no dia 4 de Julho de 2025, também para comemorar o aniversário da descoberta do Boson de Higgs. Neste evento, o Clube fará uma visita virtual ao Experimento ATLAS no CERN, Suíça. A visita ser coordenada pelos professores Amadeu Albino Junior e Evanildo Vicente de Oliveira Nunes no Brasil e pelo pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (ATLAS/BNL-CERN) na Suíça.
The Federal University of Paraíba in the Paraíba State in Brazil will visit the ATLAS detector as part of the activities related to the Week of Physics. In the visit, organized by professor Charles Salvador in Brazil and the researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (USATLAS/BNL) at the ATLAS Control Room in Switzerland, parts of the detector will be presented, focusing on the physics and exploring also many of the techniques as they impact the world around us. Furthermore, the students will be able to discuss with the experts in place via videoconference tools. A Universidade Federal da Paraíba, no estado da Paraíba, no Brasil, visitará o detector ATLAS como parte das atividades relacionadas à Semana da Física. Na visita, organizada pelo professor Charles Salvador, no Brasil, e pelo pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (USATLAS/BNL), na Sala de Controle do ATLAS, na Suíça, serão apresentadas partes do detector, com foco na física e explorando também muitas das técnicas e como elas impactam o mundo ao nosso redor. Além disso, os alunos poderão discutir com os especialistas presentes por meio de ferramentas de videoconferência.
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.
