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 to the ATLAS Experiment with Kultur Koleji and Kultur 2000 Koleji students and teachers. Participants will explore the ATLAS Experiment remotely, learn about particle physics, and interact live with CERN scientists.
Students of the 2nd Gymnasio Rethymnou will participate in a virtual visit to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. This activity serves as an introduction before the upcoming school visit to CERN, offering students a first insight into particle physics, the role of the ATLAS detector and the importance of international scientific collaboration. This virtual visit aims to inspire curiosity about science and motivate students to explore careers in physics and technology.
This virtual visit is organised for the attendees of the school programme about nuclear fusion
Virtual Visit of participants from the Scientific Experience Event at the International Institute of Physics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN/Switzerland. Students will be able to see parts of the detector as well as interact with experts in the field. The visit will be coordinated by professors Amadeu Albino Júnior (IFRN) and Fernando Wellysson de Alencar Sobreira and Klaus Werner Capelle (International Institute of Physics - UFRN) and researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) in the ATLAS detector control room. Participants (students excelling in scientific activities) will be able to interact with the researcher in the detector operation room. The visit will take place on December 10th, at 3:00 pm (Geneva time) Visita Virtual dos participantes do evento Vivência Científica no Instituto Internacional de Física da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte ao Experimento ATLAS no CERN/Suiça. Os estudantes poderão ver partes do detector assim como interagir com especialistas no campo. A Visita será coordenada pelos professores Amadeu Albino Júnior (IFRN) e Fernando Wellysson de Alencar Sobreira e Klaus Werner Capelle (International Institute of Physics - UFRN) e o Pesquisador Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) na sala de controle do detector ATLAS. Os participantes (estudantes destacados em atividades científicas) poderão interagir com o pesquisador na sala de operações do detector. A visita acontecerá no dia 10 de Dezembro às 11:00 da manhã (horário de Brasília).
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.
