ATLAS Virtual Visits
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL VISIT?
A Virtual Visit is a live video connection to the ATLAS experiment at CERN. Visitors meet with a guide who is a scientist or an engineer working on the experiment. This guide leads visitors through either the control room or to the detector itself (only during planned shutdowns of the LHC).
A Virtual Visit consists of two parts:
- The guides introduce themselves and describe their work in particle physics. They then present CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the ATLAS experiment, including its goals and recent accomplishments.
- The guides invite questions from the audience for the rest of the session, an essential part of the visit. We recommend audiences prepare questions ahead of time. This can be facilitated by viewing this introductory video.
Participants interact with their guides via web-based video conferencing applications, such as ZOOM. We conduct at least one technical test before the visit to ensure all runs smoothly. When possible, we record the events for later viewing.
UPCOMING VIRTUAL VISITS
Virtual Visit for Particle Detectors and Accelerators Lecture Course
Cavern visit for PGR applicants to Glasgow
In this virtual visit, the participants are third-year Physics students from Trieste University. Researchers from Trieste University and INFN, Sezione di Trieste, introduce the students to the CERN and the main LHC experiments and science activities there. They will take the students through virtual tours to the ALICE and the ATLAS experiments, the super magnet dipole test facility (SM18) and the CERN computing centre. At the end of the visit, the students will chat with virtual guides about several physics topics and the guides courier paths.
SciFest is a yearly science festival co-organised by Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. It offers a wide range of workshops, shows, competitions, opportunities to meet scientists, and public lectures; and hosts thousands of visitors every year.
At SciFest, curious people of all ages can try and get a taste of research and its applications in all fields of science. Exhibitors and participants at SciFest come from schools and universities and companies, public authorities, museums, and organisations. The main goal is to get young people to ask the big questions, participate in the latest research, test themselves, and discover how fun and exciting science is. Many of the participants in the program are students, young researchers and innovators.
