Explore the ATLAS Open Data platform! This comprehensive educational platform guides students at university level through how to use ATLAS Open Data and the corresponding analysis tools.
Explore ATLAS open datasets and physics analyses directly from your browser with the help of our cloud computing resources. These "Jupyter notebooks" allow you to easily interact with the data without downloading files or writing code. If you have a CERN computing account, you can also explore these notebooks through the SWAN cloud computing service.
The best way to analyse ATLAS Open Data offline is using our "Virtual Machines". This simple set-up includes all of the 13 TeV software and tools, and can be saved directly on your hard drive. They are extremely easy to set-up and use, having been tested by students from all over the world!
All of ATLAS's open datasets and resources are available on the CERN Open Data Portal. All datasets on the portal are shared under a Creative Commons CC0 public domain dedication; the data and software are assigned unique DOI identifiers to make them citable in scientific articles; and software is released under open source licenses.
ATLAS released its first open data in 2016, making public 1 fb-1 of 8 TeV data that is still in use for many individuals and institutions. One of the best tools to study ATLAS 8 TeV (and 13 TeV) Open Data is the “Histogram Analyser”, which allow users to explore physics concepts in a graphical way.
An ATLAS Virtual Visit connects a classroom, exhibition or other public venue with scientists located at the experiment using web-based video conferencing. It is a chance for you to have a conversation with the scientists working on ATLAS.
Be a particle physicist for a day by participating in the hands-on analysis of real ATLAS data. The Particle Physics Masterclasses include exercises that allow students to select events and learn key concepts of analysis. These classes are typically led by a researcher from the collaboration working with local teachers, but can be downloaded and run anywhere.
The annual International Physics Masterclasses join classrooms from around the world in a day-long programme than culminates in a videoconference for discussion and combination of results. Join an event near you.
Discover the Large Hadron Collider in full 3D pop-up, one of the greatest adventures in science today. Engineering wizardry leaps from the page to reveal its inner workings. The book tells the story of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.
Discover the Large Hadron Collider in full 3D pop-up, one of the greatest adventures in science today. Engineering wizardry leaps from the page to reveal its inner workings. The book tells the story of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The experiment is run by 3000 scientists from 38 countries around the world, on a quest to understand what the universe is made of and how it works.
Pop-ups and illustrations by Anton Radevsky, text by Emma Sanders.
The book is available for purchase on the CERN site (at the reception, the library and the ATLAS secretariat) and at all good bookstores, including Amazon US, Amazon UK and Waterstone (UK).
Each pop-out genuinely illuminates the workings of the detector and the interactions of the particles it hopes to find.
Among popular books about particle physics, this one stands out - quite literally.

Create the ATLAS detector and the Large Hadron Collider out of LEGOs! The Build Your Own Particle Detector programme provides the plans and part lists for you to create LHC detectors at home.
Enter the world of particle physics with the newly-launched ATLAScraft! Built within the wildly successful game platform Minecraft, this new world recreates the laboratory using 3D blocks. Explore the CERN campus, shrink down to the size of a particle, and even conduct their own “experiments” in educational minigames.
