The University of Cambridge's Institute for Continuing Education (ICE) runs an annual summer programme for adult learners returning to in-person teaching for the first time following the pandemic this summer. This visit will be part of the final session in the week-long course on "physics at small scales and high speeds", which discusses the breakdown of the laws of classical physics in these limits and introduces the two pillars of modern physics: quantum mechanics and special relativity. As the world's highest energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is an ideal laboratory for testing these laws. This virtual visit to the ATLAS experiment will enable participants to gain insight into physics using high-energy collisions.
