Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to present the new ATLAS Visitor Centre at the Lepton Photon 2021 conference. It’s been great and fun to lead this project and to propose and develop at lot of new content together with great people within the ATLAS Collaboration, the CERN exhibitions team and the design company Point Prod in Geneva. And it’s great to finally see it come to conclusion and open up to the public once visitors are allowed at CERN again.

From Quarks to Qubits

After more than sixteen years at the ATLAS experiment it seems to be time for a change, and for me that change is going from quarks to qubits, and from a mix of fundamental research, teaching and science communication to a full-time job working on public engagement and didactics for the recently founded Munich Quantum Valley.
German 360° ATLAS tour
I recently finally finished editing a shorter version of a 360° virtual tour to the ATLAS experiment in German (well, Berlin-German), which you can find on my YouTube channel.
The English versions, both the full tour and the short version, are still available on the ATLAS YouTube channel.
ATLAS detector slice
In addition to new animated logos for video productions of the ATLAS Collaboration, I have been working on a revised, 1080p version of the animated ATLAS detector slice, showing the interaction of different particles inside the ATLAS detector.
Here’s a low-resolution preview …

… you can find the full-resolution version, along with still vector images of the empty detector slice, on the CERN Documents Server (CDS) now (stills and animated GIFs are here).
Note: The detector slice is based on earlier work/versions by Rebecca Pitt and Joao Pequenao.
Update on ATLAS animated logos
I just recently picked up my Motion project to create some animated logos for video productions for the ATLAS Collaboration and the clips are now available (for the collaboration) at atlas.cern/design.
Here’s a few previews and look out for them in upcoming ATLAS videos ;)
