Open Data at ATLAS: Bringing TeV collisions to the World

ATLAS Open Data for Education delivers proton–proton collision data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN to the public along with open-access resources for education and outreach. To date ATLAS has released a substantial amount of data from 8 TeV and 13 TeV collisions in an easily-accessible format and supported by dedicated documentation, software, and tutorials to ensure that everyone can access and exploit the data for different educational objectives. Along with datasets, ATLAS also provides data visualisation tools and interactive web based applications for studying the data, along with Jupyter Notebooks and downloadable code enabling users to further analyse data for known and unknown physics cases. The Open Data educational platform which hosts the data and tools is used by tens of thousands of students worldwide, and we present the project development, lessons learnt, impacts, and future goals.
