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
Virtual Visit of the School Colégio Odete São Paio, São Gonçalo 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 Professor Marcia Begalli in Brazil and Researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) in the ATLAS Control room. Visita Virtual do Colégio Odete São Paio - São Gonçalo 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 no Brasil e o Pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) na sala de controle do detector ATLAS.
This virtual visit is a part of the ATLAS Masterclass. The visit aims to briefly introduce the ATLAS experiment at CERN at the start of the day.
The visit is to allow our undergraduate students to see what is obtainable in your institution and also to broaden our student's understanding of different aspects of Physics.
This virtual visit is for ASU Preparatory Academy Digital Chemistry and Physics students attending a Live Lesson on 5/6. During this event, they will visit the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
This virtual visit to the ATLAS experiment at CERN is part of the High school physics students' trip to Westmont College, an ATLAS associate member, for an interactive day of physics demonstrations.
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.
