ATLAS Open Data

An Educational project in High Energy Physics

The ATLAS Collaboration's current approach on the release of datasets is intended for Education, Training and Outreach activities around the World. In order to fulfil that objective, the ATLAS Open Data project was created.

The ATLAS Open Data project aims to provide data and tools to high-school, masters and undergraduate students, as well as teachers and lecturers, to help educate them in physics analysis techniques used in experimental particle physics. Sharing data collected by the ATLAS experiment aims to generate excitement and enthusiasm for fundamental research, inspiring physicists of the future.

This site provides introductory material and detailed information for a wide audience about the ATLAS Open Datasets and their visualisation, the analysis frameworks and Jupyter notebooks, as well as the virtual machine usage instructions.
