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
As a Mathematics Special Education teacher in Samos, I would like my 9th-grade students to join the virtual visit to CERN to connect their lessons with real scientific exploration. This experience will help them better understand how mathematics and physics are applied in major research projects, while inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and interest in STEM fields.
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is a not-for-profit organisation that runs immersive programs to encourage young people to pursue their passion for STEM. Through our programs each year, we engage with 500+ high school students and early career STEM professionals from across Australia. Our flagship program, the NYSF Year 12 Program, takes place each January in Canberra and Brisbane, giving participants opportunities to engage in an exciting range of STEM visits, lectures, networking events and social activities.
No contexto da VI Escola de Verão ICTP-SAIFR para Jovens Físicos teremos uma visita virtual desta escola ao experimento ATLAS, na linha de feixes do Grande Colisor de Hadrons, LHC no CERN em Genebra no dia 14 de janeiro às 8:00 da manhã diretamente da sala de controle da experiência ATLAS. Durante a visita partes do detector serão apresentadas aos alunos e eles poderão interagir com pesquisadores do experimento. A visita é coordenada no Brasil pelo professor Lucas David Feitosa Campos (ICTP-SAIFR) e na Suíça pelo pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/USATLAS). During the VI ICTP-SAIFR Summer School for Young Physicists, we will host a virtual visit from the school to the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beamline at CERN in Geneva on January 14th at noon, directly from the ATLAS control room. During the visit, the students will be shown parts of the detector and will have the opportunity to interact with the experiment's researchers. The visit is coordinated in Brazil by Professor Lucas David Feitosa Campos (ICTP-SAIFR) and in Switzerland by researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/USATLAS).
The group of students who would like to participate in this virtual tour of one of the most influential experiments of the 21st century belong to the school’s robotics team and have a special interest in STEM and the sciences. They are students with exceptional skills in programming and electronic circuits, and many of them dream of working with you.
No contexto da VI Escola de Verão ICTP-SAIFR para Jovens Físicos teremos uma visita virtual desta escola ao experimento ATLAS, na linha de feixes do Grande Colisor de Hadrons, LHC no CERN em Genebra no dia 14 de janeiro às 8:30 da manhã diretamente da caverna da experiência ATLAS. Durante a visita partes do detector serão apresentadas aos alunos e eles poderão interagir com pesquisadores do experimento. A visita é coordenada no Brasil pelo professor Lucas David Feitosa Campos (ICTP-SAIFR) e na Suíça pelo pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/USATLAS). As part of the VI ICTP-SAIFR Summer School for Young Physicists, we will host a virtual visit to the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beamline at CERN in Geneva on January 15th at 12:30 pm, directly from the ATLAS cavern. During the visit, the students will be shown parts of the detector and will have the opportunity to interact with the experiment's researchers. The visit is coordinated in Brazil by Professor Lucas David Feitosa Campos (ICTP-SAIFR) and in Switzerland by researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/USATLAS).
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.
