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 Federal Technical School (CEFET) Nova Iguaçú 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 CEFET Nova Iguaçú 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 induction day offered for the new collaboration members.
Festival de la ciencia Majuy, experimentos y muestras con consciencia y congruencia.
This virtual visit aims to enhance understanding of particle physics within the A-level specification.
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.
