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
On October 9th, the students from Centro Paula Souza - Fatec - Professor Wilson Roberto Ribeiro de Camargo, in Tatuí, São Paulo State will participate on a Virtual Visit with the ATLAS Experiment in the LHC beam line at CERN, Switzerland. These students will see parts of the detector and discuss with experts in place about the experiment and physics as part of a Master Class The visit is coordinated in Brazil by the professors Marcia Begalli (UERJ), Pedro Rosa (Fatec/Tatuí) and in Switzerland by the researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/ATLAS). No dia 9 de outubro, os alunos do Centro Paula Souza - Fatec - Professor Wilson Roberto Ribeiro de Camargo, em Tatuí, São Paulo, participarão de uma Visita Virtual com o Experimento ATLAS na linha do feixe do LHC no CERN, Suíça.

The Physics Without Frontiers Workshop in Computational Cosmology and High Energy Physics, taking place at the University of Phayao, Thailand, is designed to introduce undergraduate students to essential computational techniques used in cosmology and high-energy physics. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on coding sessions, and interactive projects, participants will gain practical experience in simulations, data analysis, and numerical modelling, key skills for modern physics research. Lectures include Dr Kate Shaw, Dr Nandan Roy, and Dr Suphakorn Chunlen, along with online guest speakers including Professor John Ellis.
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.
