CERN and ATLAS registration forms | ||||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | Be sure to fill out and have the following forms signed by your team leader (i.e., Tony Doyle, Craig Buttar or Val O'Shea can sign): CERN Registration form , ATLAS registration form. The CERN registration form registers you at CERN and ultimately grants you access to the CERN network and a CERN access card. Be sure to do this, as waiting to gain access to computers and the internet while at CERN can be frustrating. You should bring some type of evidence of health insurance. | |||||||

Not so important notes before going to CERNMoney | ||||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | You will mostly use Swiss Francs (CHF), but Euros are often accepted and are needed for shopping in France (which is often cheaper than Switzerland). The best exchange rates will often be offered with student accounts at banks (e.g., RBS). Note that generally banks require a day or two of notice in order to acquire Swiss Francs. Alternatively, Marks & Spencer offer generally decent exchange rates. | |||||||

Language | ||||||||
| Line: 52 to 58 | ||||||||
| The bus stop you will need to get somewhere (i.e., CERN) is likely to be the one on the corner as you leave the airport. For vague instructions, after you pass from the baggage collection area to the foyer, turn left, following signs for buses, and eventually you will reach a yellow escalator. Go up this and, at the top, come back on yourself, exit that way and you will be essentially standing at the bus stop. | ||||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | Airport to CERN: Take bus 57 (in the direction Gare Vernier-Meyrin) to Hôpital-La Tour and then take the tram (on Route de Meyrin) to CERN. The tram stops outside building 33, the reception building.
CERN Shuttle ServiceThe CERN Shuttle is a less frequent but direct service that operates on weekday mornings and afternoons. If you do not have a CERN access card, you are permitted to have transportation to the CERN reception building (building 33). | |||||||

CERNArriving at CERN | ||||||||

| ||||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | On arrival, go to Reception in building 55. Identify yourself (using something such as a passport) and your contact person (usually your supervisor). It would be useful to make sure that this person is contactable by telephone when you arrive. Receive a printed temporary pass card (which lasts for 2 days) and get yourself a nice little fold-up map of CERN. | |||||||

| Now, go to the CERN Users' office in building 500 and hand in your CERN registration form (making sure both sides are filled in). You should also hand in evidence of health insurance. If you don't have it, you can send it to the person you register with at a later date. | ||||||||

| > > | This machine is temperamental at the moment. It appears to have a certain distaste for drawing in paper (i.e., the rollers are probably dirty), though there is a trick for making it draw in paper (see the manual for how to do this). Also, it appears to have a damaged sensor that is used for calibration (i.e., the sensor that the printer uses to measure its length is not working) that prevents the printer from completing its bootup procedure. Do not try to trick the printer into working by feeding it whiskey. | |||||||

| < < | It is a nice flat with three bedrooms, Wi-Fi, a stereo system, a telephone, a washing machine/spin-drier, a shower and the other usual things you would expect in a flat. There is also a television, if you are into such retro things. There is a great view of the Jura mountains to wake up to each morning. You can view the availability and book the CERN flat here | |||||||

Telephone | ||||||||

| < < | The telephone number for the telephone in the Glasgow flat is 0044 (0) 22 782 2573. You can both make and receive calls on the telephone, but you must record the times of the calls (and ultimately reimburse the group for any calls you make). Remember that VoIP services are available (often for free) using the Wi-Fi. | |||||||
