CERN Accelerating science

The coordination of Physics at CEFET/RJ Maracanã organizes the Virtual Visit to ATLAS experiment at CERN. This visit is an online event in which students will be taken directly to CERN's ATLAS Detector, in its control room, and then to the cavern - ​​the location 100 meters deep where the particle detector is. Contact is made with CERN's Physicists and Engineers, who present the laboratory and answer students' questions. This event is organized by Prof. Wagner Souza, coordinator of High School Physics at the Maracanã campus, who visited CERN in 2014 and took a seven-day course. Two hundred fifty places will be made available to high school students from all CEFET/RJ campuses.
