---++ General Information

Thank you for your email regarding your upcoming summer stay at CERN. This communication is regarding logistics, especially housing and insurance. Making your housing arrangement is up to you. It may be easier and cheaper to arrange rooming but it is entirely up to you. There are a list of resources on the web (see links below) and Ms. Yasemin Yazgan, who is the Relocation Assistant at CERN is also available to assist you.

Important contacts (cc&rsquo;d in this email):

Ms. Yasemin Yazgan at CERN is the US-CMS contact and Relocation Assistant.

Dr. Iosif Legrand is the Caltech HEP group rep at CERN and needs to sign your registration when you arrive so that you get a valid CERN ID (without which you are not allowed to enter the lab). N.B. Even if your institute has a group at CERN with a different experiment you will get an account with CMS and your host institution will be Caltech for your CERN registration. This will be cross checked with Dr. Legrand when you arrive at CERN.

Dr. Dorian Kcira will help you with computer accounts at the Caltech clusters/T3 and other instructions on getting CMS accounts at CERN and certificates to run jobs on the grid and accessing all the internal CMS pages/twikis/news forums etc. as well as the Caltech/CMS ones.

You will need to arrange your own travel, housing and insurance very soon. I am the Administrative Manager of the HEP group at Caltech and can will help you with any remaining questions. Please keep me informed on all matters regarding health insurance and visas [if needed (French/Swiss)]. This must be done well in advance of your travel date. Also, as soon as you have your travel itinerary finalized, please forward it to me, with a copy to Lupe Llamas at Caltech.

Information on transportation and getting bikes from CERN are included in information below and you can also ask Ms. Yazgan (on the cc) if it is possible to book them now.

---+++ CERN
   1 Register with CERN and CMS. Carefully follow the instructions on the [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/WorkBookGetAccount][WorkBookGetAccount]] Twiki page.
o [[http://cms.cern.ch/iCMS/jsp/secr/reg/regCMS.jsp][Complete the CMS pre-registration form]].

o Request a CMS Computing Account by email. AFS & NICE passwords are now the same for new users.

o Validate your accounts by passing [[https://www.cern.ch/cernaccount][CERN computer security and rules course]].
   1 [[https://network.cern.ch/sc/fcgi/sc.fcgi?Action=NewPortable][Register your laptop for DHCP]] to gain access to the CERN domain.
   1 [[https://hypernews.cern.ch/HyperNews/CMS/login.pl][Register with HyperNews]]
   1 Some CERN web pages are protected like the ELog. Send email to " [[mailto:helpdesk@cern.ch][helpdesk@cern.ch]]" and request to be added to the CMS group.
   1 If you are going to CERN, please review the [[http://ph-dep.web.cern.ch/ph-dep/UsersOffice/][CERN Users' Office]] web page.
   1 Register with the Users' Office in the CERN main building (near the main cafeteria). Before you go to the Users' Office, fill out the CERN Registration Form and Proof of Employment Letter.
o Specify "CERN Hostel" for "Local Address in the Geneva Region" if that is where you normally stay while visiting.

o Use "+1-630-555-1212" format for phone numbers in the U.S.

o Use "DD/MM/YYYY" for the date format.

o Talk to Tami Kramer (FNAL/CMS team deputy) in 40/5-A15 (building 40, fifth euro-floor, room A15) -- she can sign your CERN registration form and provide you with a letter confirming your employment at FNAL (or talk to your own team leader if you are not a Fermilab employee).

o You can provide Teri's office on the form, if you do not have your own (phone extension 74799, +41-22-767-4799 from outside CERN).

o If you previously had a CERN ID or "Attestacion" card, you must bring it with you to the Users' Office.
   1 [[http://safety-commission.web.cern.ch/safety-commission/SC-site/sc_pages/frame_training.html][Complete CERN Safety Training]]
o Must be done after receiving a CERN ID card.

o The Users' Office will give you instructions on safety training. [[http://safety-commission.web.cern.ch/safety-commission/SC-site/sc_pages/frame_training.html][Levels 1, 2, and 3]] are covered by a video, available at 10:00 and 15:00 in English at room 55/02-005 (near main entrance) -- bring your CERN card to validate/record your training.

o If you will be going down to the CMS cavern (or elsewhere in the LHC tunnel) you must also complete Level 4, which can be done with with an AIS account from [[http://sir.cern.ch/][http://sir.cern.ch]] over the web. Generally, all regular CMS members will need to do this (e.g., required for any detector/electronics work and on-site shifts)
   1 Obtaining CMS Online Cluster Account
o If you will be doing computing work at P5 (other than checking email from your laptop) then you will need a CMS online cluster account. This can be done only once you have an lxplus/afs account. Send your lxplus/afs user name to the online administrators ( [[mailto:cms-daq-cluster-admins@cern.ch][cms-daq-cluster-admins@cern.ch]]) to request an account. The central user machine on this cluster is called cmsdaquser0.cern.ch

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions please contact me and if I can&rsquo;t answer them for you, I will find the appropriate person to assist you.
