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.
