<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/THHGTC_logo.jpg" alt="The Hitchhiker's Guide to CERN" width="650" />

This page is an informal guide that contains tips, tricks and observations for the avid physicist going on an adventure to CERN. A very meagre attempt is made to keep it up to date. Feel free to add to this document wisdom, ramblings and details on adventures.

---++ important notes before going to CERN

---+++ CERN and ATLAS registration forms

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):

   * [[http://usersoffice.web.cern.ch/sites/usersoffice.web.cern.ch/files/pdf/Formalities/RFormEN.pdf][CERN Registration form]] ([[%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/ATLASreg_form.pdf][backup copy: ATLASreg_form.pdf]])

   * [[http://atlassec.web.cern.ch/atlassec/ATLASreg_form.pdf][ATLAS registration form]] ([[%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/RFormEN.pdf][backup copy: RFormEN.pdf]])

The CERN registration form registers you at CERN and grants you access to the CERN computer 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 because you need this for physics analysis and relaxing on the physics thread of [[http://boards.4chan.org/v/][4chan /d/]]. You should bring some type of evidence of health insurance such as an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card). If you don't happen to have this evidence with you for some reason, the application of witchery can give you some temporal leeway in this regard.

---++ not so important notes before going to CERN

---+++ money

Mostly, you will use Swiss Francs (CHF), but Euros are accepted often and are needed for shopping in France (which is often cheaper than Switzerland). The best exchange rates are offered often 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 offers generally decent exchange rates. There are some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=000al7ru3ms][online methods]] that can reduce exchange costs further.

Remember to push for the advance of Bitcoin in order to avoid this "currency exchange" nonsense.

---+++ language

English usually works, but having some French will help you. If you do not know a great deal of French, Google Translate is getting very good and you could have this at the ready on your mobile telephone. If you feel inclined to learn some French (or other languages, for that matter), you might consider trying out [[http://www.memrise.com][Memrise]], a nifty learning website.

---++ arriving

---+++ arriving at Geneva Airport

On arriving at Geneva airport, you can expect to go through the usual procedures that you would expect at an airport, including showing your passport and collecting checked baggage.

---++++ free travel ticket

When you are in the baggage collection area, remember to collect a free public transport ticket provided by Geneva airport! This is ideal for getting to wherever you need to go when you arrive and means that you don't have to worry about having CHF change on arrival. The ticket machine could be quite easy to miss. It looks like this:

<img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/Geneva_airport_free_ticket.jpg" alt="Geneva_airport_free_ticket.jpgf" width="631" height="864" />

The ticket lasts for 88 minutes.

---++++ public transportation

It is possible to purchase either public transport cards in newsagents and whatnot and it is possible to purchase a month ticket (which may cost about 70 CHF) at the central trainstation and possibly in the airport.

---++++ airport Wi-Fi

Swisscom offers access to Wi-Fi in the airport. There is also a small snack shop called Snack (which sells decent food near the yellow escalator) that offers Wi-Fi:

   * SSID: Snack GVA Hot Spot
   * passcode: 1e7P6nzD

---++++ leaving Geneva airport

---+++++ bus 57

Here are some vague instructions to get to the bus stops that you'll need to get somewhere (i.e. CERN): After you pass from the baggage collection area to the foyer, turn left, following signs for buses, go through a big rotating door and, eventually, you should reach a yellow escalator. Go up this escalator and, at the top, turn back on the direction in which you came and take the exit ahead of you. Turn left and continue until you see bus stops.

Public transport information can be accessed at the quite good [[http://www.tpg.ch/][TPG]] website.

To go from the airport to CERN, you may be able to take one of the following routes:

   * Take bus 57 (going in the direction of Gare de Meyrin) from the airport to Blandonnet and then take tram 18 (going in the direction of CERN) from Blandonnet to CERN.
   * Take bus 23 (going in the direction of ZIPLO) from the airport to Blandonnet and then take tram 18 (going in the direction of CERN) from Blandonnet to CERN.
   * Take bus Y (going in the direction Val-Thoiry) from the airport to CERN.

-------

The following information may be dated or obsolete:

In order to go from the 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.

bus 57 stops:
   * Arrêt Gare Vernier-Meyrin
   * Voituriers
   * Jardin-Alpin-Vivarium
   * Forumeyrin
   * Meyrin-Mairie
   * Sainte-Cécile
   * Meyrin-Gravière

---+++++ CERN Shuttle Service

The 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).

[[http://gs-dep.web.cern.ch/en/content/Shuttle/New][CERN Shuttle Service circuit information]]

---++ CERN

---+++ arriving at CERN

The things you should arrange to do on arrival are as follows:

   * CERN registration
   * ATLAS registration
   * Safety Information Registration (SIR)
   * get CERN access card
   * register portable computer
   * get office key
   * get CERN bicycle
   * get ATLAS flat key (if necessary)

On arrival, go to Reception in building 55. Identify yourself (using something such as a passport) and your contact person (perhaps 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.

Next, go to the ATLAS Secretariat on the top floor of the D wing of building 40 (the ATLAS/CMS building) and hand in your ATLAS registration form in order to get put onto the HR database. After the ATLAS registration, you can order a key for your office. For this, you simply fill out a [[http://atlassec.web.cern.ch/atlassec/demande_cle_2009.pdf][requisition form]]. It takes about a day to have your new key made.

Now, go to the ID Office in building 22 (which is near to gate B). Go up to the top floor first. Here you will receive details (user name and passcode) for internet access. You will also be instructed to do the Safety Information Registration (SIR). It is a set of online questions and it is not difficult. Now, go down to the ground floor. If you want, there are toilets on the ground floor with mirrors, so you can make yourself look very attractive before your photograph is taken. On the ground floor, you can get your photograph taken and your new CERN access card. Finally, go to your office, sit down and relax after all of that exercise.

In case of problems etc., you can go to the CERN UK Liason Office. Here, you can ask questions and send and receive faxes (for those signatures you may have forgotten to get...).

It takes about a day to be put onto the HR database and you should be on this in order to register any portable computers you want to use at CERN. When you gain access to the CERN network, you can do the Safety Information Registration (SIR) by going to [[https://sir.cern.ch/]]. It is straightforward and some of the questions are quite amusing.

If you want to have the loan of a free CERN bicycle, you could request one now. It can take a day or so for one to become available. See more details on CERN bicycles [[ATLAS/THHGTC#CERN_bicycle][here]].

If you need a key for the ATLAS flat, one may be obtained from the CERN U.K. Liason Office. See more details [[ATLAS/THHGTC#ATLAS_commuter_flat][here]].

---+++ offices

---++++ 1 R-019

[[%ATTACHURLPATH%/001-J-019.jpg][image of 1 R-019]]

---+++++ computers and associated items

[[%ATTACHURLPATH%/001-J-019_computer_layout_1.jpg][image of R-019 2011 computer layout at north end of room]]

---+++++ telephone

The 1 R-019 office internal (i.e., inside CERN) telephone number is 75950. The external (i.e., outside CERN) telephone number is 0041 (0) 22 76 75950.

To call out from the office, dial the following followed the appropriate telephone number:

*44 6070

---+++++ glasvr02 (not named yet -- think of a name!, Glasgow server at CERN)

To connect to the server, you would use a procedure such as the following:

<verbatim>
# Log on to LXPLUS.
ssh -Y <user_name>@lxplus.cern.ch
# Log on to glasvr (Glasgow server at CERN) from LXPLUS.
ssh -Y <user_name>@glasvr02.cern.ch
</verbatim>

---+++++ now dead: glasvr01 ("Black Beastie", Glasgow server at CERN)

To use the server, you would have a user account set up on it. You could contact Samir Ferrag (Samir.Ferrag@glasgow.ac.uk) to arrange this. To connect to the server, you would use a procedure such as the following:

<verbatim>
# Log on to LXPLUS.
ssh -Y <user_name>@lxplus.cern.ch
# Log on to glasvr (Glasgow server at CERN) from LXPLUS.
ssh -Y <user_name>@glasvr01.cern.ch
</verbatim>

There was about 5 TB of space on the server. The AFS space for each user is ~ 1 GB. More space can be had by using the /data/ directory.

---+++++ printers

---++++++ 1-R010-HP (black and white laser printer)

printer model: HP LaserJet P4014n

IP address: 137.138.204.43

outlet: 0019/03

name: 1-R010-HP

---++++++ HP Deskjet 9800 (colour inkjet printer)

[[%ATTACHURLPATH%/001-J-019_colour_printer.jpg][image of colour printer in 001-R-019]]

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.

---+++ food

---++++ Restaurant 1

You can get decent food at Restaurant 1 in CERN. There are various areas to eat in; try them out. It is nice to sit outside with good weather, a view of Le Salève (a mountain) and the ATLAS building. Some food is available throughout the day, but there is more food available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. While the food is good, the conversation is the main thing that you go for. High quality physics talk is available in abundance.

Restaurant 1 is the only restaurant at CERN that is open at weekends and in the evenings for dinner.

---++++ Restaurant 2

obsolete link: [[http://www.novae-restauration.ch/novae/traiteur/restauration/bon-app.html][menu for CERN Restaurant 2]]

---+++ CERN parking permit

You can get a CERN parking permit for your vehicle easily from building 55.

<img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/building_55.gif" alt="building_55.gif" width="524" height="548" />

Bring your CERN access card and your vehicle registration number (and your vehicle registration certificate if you can) and the helpful people there can register your vehicle with CERN and provide you with a sticker for your vehicle or wallet. This process can take less than 2 minutes.

---+++ CERN Driving Authorisation

The CERN Driving Authorisation allows you to drive CERN vehicles.

Basically, the three things you will need to obtain CERN driving authorisation are

   * CERN registration,
   * completion of Safety Levels 1 and 2 and
   * a scan of the driving licence.

If you are with a U.K. institution, you should now be permitted access to the U.K. Liason Office vans.

---++++ current procedure

Access [[https://edh.cern.ch/Document/General/DA][this]] document on EDH (the CERN "Electronic Document Handling" system). Enter the required information (with the justification given as "to drive CERN vehicle for ATLAS"). Save the document (using the "Save" icon), attach a PDF copy of your driving licence (using the "Attach" icon) (the UK Liaison Office can make a scan for you if you do not have access to a scanner) and then send the document (using the "Send" icon). Following any remaining instructions as necessary.

Your driving license application should then pass to CERN Services. You will receive an EDH Notification e-mail within about a day regarding your request. If everything is in order, your request should be approved. You do not need to keep a printed copy of this as the CERN driving licence is an online/electronic authorisation and can be viewed when your CERN Access Card is swiped under a reader.

---++++ 2011 procedure

First, go to [[https://aislogin.cern.ch][EDH]] (the CERN "Electronic Document Handling" system). Here, you can create and activate a request for a driving authorisation (amongst other things). After you have logged in to EDH, select "Access Request". Under "Required Access Line Item", select "+Add". In the pop-up that has popped up, select the following details (edit as necessary):

Access Site: All

Access Building: All

Access Zone: V: CERN vehicle driving license

Start Date: <today's date>

End Date: <date as required, perhaps contract expiry date>

Justification: "to drive CERN vehicle for ATLAS"

Select "OK". Select "I agree" for the terms and conditions. Attach a scanned copy (in, say, PDF format) of your driving licence (the UK Liaison Office can make a scan for you if you do not have access to a scanner) using the the "Attach" icon at the top. Select "Send" and follow the instructions as necessary.

Your driving license application should then pass to CERN Services. You will receive an EDH Notification e-mail within about a day regarding your request. If everything is in order, your request should be approved. You do not need to keep a printed copy of this as the CERN driving licence is an online/electronic authorisation and can be viewed when your CERN Access Card is swiped under a reader.

---+++ UKLO CERN vans

You can access UKLO CERN vans if you are associated appropriately with the STFC, have a CERN Driving Authorisation and have approval from your supervisor (who should contact the UKLO indicating this). Contact the nice people at the UKLO to organise this. The reservation webpage for the UKLO CERN vans is [[http://www.supersaas.co.uk/schedule/login/UKLO-vans/]]. On the SuperSaaS reservation system, select an empty space in order to create a new reservation. Self reservations can be edited by selecting them.

The vans have various fun names:

   * DownQuark
   * CharmQuark
   * TruthQuark
   * CMS Tracker (restricted)
   * UpQuark
   * StrangeQuark
   * BeautyQuark
   * CMS Ecal (restricted)

---+++ CERN bicycle

CERN bicycles are provided free of charge. These are nice bikes that are serviced regularly and are a lovely way to get to CERN from Meyrin or Saint Genis-Pouilly. How do you get one? First, fill out [[%ATTACHURL%/CERN_bicycle_form.pdf][this]] form (or possibly [[http://atlassec.web.cern.ch/atlassec/Bicycle_form.pdf][this form]) as necessary. Bring the form to the ATLAS secretariat. There, you can get it signed and stamped. Now, bring the form to building 124. There is a deposit of CHF100 to pay (which is returned to you when you return the bike, assuming you have not blown it up or something). You could consider requesting a bike with a front carrier on it if you think it would be a good idea to carry a small bag (/animal/something else) in it. You should receive an e-mail in a day or so letting you know that your bike is ready for collection.

---+++ CERN bike sharing (Velopass)

Velopass is the name of a bicycle-sharing service. CERN members can borrow Velopass bicycles for free from one of the docking stations installed at the INGRID temporary garden on the parking area near building 33.

   * [[http://gs-dep.web.cern.ch/en/content/Mobility/Bike_sharing][http://gs-dep.web.cern.ch/en/content/Mobility/Bike_sharing]]

---+++ personal bicycle

It used to be that you needed insurance for personal bicycles, which you could get in the form of a little sticker called a "vignette" for 6 CHF per year at post offices, large shops, bike shops etc.

---+++ CERN catacombs

If you feel like having a small adventure, you can explore the CERN catacombs. Bring a torch!

---+++ scanning

There is a scanner-photocopier in the CERN library. You can look up your details on the machine, scan something and it should be sent to you from the e-mail address B52-1LIB-CAN@cern.ch. It may be that you can save scans to an attached USB drive.

---+++ navigating CERN

---++++ building numbers

You may find that the numbers of CERN buildings are confusing. Rest assured that the numbering system of CERN buildings is highly intelligent and that you are simply too stupid to understand it.

| *site* | *nomination* | *serial number* |
| Meyrin | offices, laboratories | 1--99 |
| Meyrin | workshops, warehouses, garages | 100--199 |
| Meyrin | general and special equipment | 200--299 |
| Meyrin | SC accelerators and annexes | 300--349 |
| Meyrin | PS accelerators and annexes | 350--374 |
| Meyrin | new accelerators and annexes | 375--399 |
| Meyrin | roads, car parks, storage zones | 400--499 |
| Meyrin | miscellaneous buildings | 500--549 |
| SPS/Prevessin | offices, laboratories, SPS halls | 860--1000 |
| SPS/Prevessin | roads, car parks, storage zones | 1000--1099 |

Note that roads are classified as buildings and that CERN hostels are sometimes classified as offices. Why is there a gap between 549 and 860?, I hear you cry. Well, those are simply the serial numbers of the CERN buildings on the [[http://hercolubus.tv/#book][planet Hercolubus]].

---+++ CERN Market

<img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/cernmarket2.png" alt="cernmarket2.png" width="180" height="64" />

The purpose of the CERN Market is to enable CERN people to buy and sell personal objects -- anything from a house or a car to a set of snow chains.

   * [[https://social.cern.ch/community/cern-market/SitePages/Community%20Home.aspx][CERN Market]]

---+++ access requests for ATLAS control room, CERN Control Center

You can request access to various areas at CERN using EDH.

- https://edh.cern.ch/Document/General/ACRQ

To access the ATLAS control room (ATL_CR, building 3162), request the following access:

   * Access Site: POINT 1 LHC/LEP
   * Access Building: All
   * Access Zone: ATL_CR: ATLAS CONTROL ROOM
   * Justification: ATLAS user

To access the CERN Control Center (building 874), request the following access:

   * Access Site: PREVESSIN
   * Access Building: All
   * Access Zone: 0874-R-017:Access to the CCC visitor center
   * Justification: ATLAS user

---+++ ATLAS control room shifts

---++ accessing CERN outside normal working hours

Outside of normal working hours, you can use entrance B to access CERN.

---++ ATLAS commuter flat

---+++ general description

The Glasgow ATLAS group has a flat close to CERN in the town of Meyrin. Here are the coördinates: [[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=(46.237145706538854,+6.077819913625717)][(46.237145706538854, 6.077819913625717)]]. The address is as follows:

flat 62,
Promenade des Champs-Fréchets 20,
1217 Meyrin,
Switzerland

The building may be accessed using the passcode 2809. 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 inclined towards 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 [[http://www.ppe.gla.ac.uk/atlas-flat/][here]].

A key for the ATLAS flat may be obtained from Valerie Flood or, failing this, from the CERN U.K. Liason Office in 32 1-B06 (which may be accessible via building 21). There should be a secure box containing keys for collection and return outside of normal hours. The passcode for the secure box is [SECRET]. A useful contact person in the CERN U.K. Liason Office is Kevin Viel (+41 2276 75975).

---+++ Wi-Fi

The details for the Wi-Fi network in the ATLAS commuter flat are printed beneath the router in the flat.

---+++ money tin

This contains money which is to be used for flat expenses (e.g., lightbulbs). Staying in the flat, you should put 2 CHF into the tin every evening (and every time you curse [[http://root.cern.ch/][ROOT]]).

---+++ 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. Obviously, this works only if you are not trying to call people from a more civilised age (read: primitive age).
