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
TikTok UK livestream in the ATLAS Visitors Centre
This virtual visit is for undergraduate and postgraduate physics students at the Department of Physics and Electronics, JAIN University.
The Erasmus Summer School in Physics (E3F) "Unveiling the Secrets of Matter and Light" is scheduled from September 9th to 13th, 2024, at the Faculty of Physics, Universitat de València. The school is designed for undergraduate students with physics and other STEM degrees. Over five days, participants can expect to engage in lectures, round tables, and a variety of leisure and educational activities, all within an inclusive and participatory environment.
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.
