Users are expected to have backed up all data and cleaned the beamline area BEFORE their time ends.

Note: Accelerator Physics may move the end time to 6 AM.

User's responsibilities:

Users are responsible for the following:

  • Reading and complying with the policies regarding heavy metals, propane and liquid nitrogen use.
  • Knowing and following all applicable safety protocols
  • Posting the proper safety protocols and signs required for their experiment
  • Insuring that one experimenter who has attended the beamline orientation participates in the experiment at all times
  • Contacting SSRL staff in case of a problem
  • Backing up data before their run has ended
  • Cleaning up the beamline and lab areas before their run has ended
  • Reporting missing or broken equipment

Users should not attempt the following unless instructed by SSRL staff:

  • Making repairs or realigning beamline optics
  • Removing covers or unplugging detectors and other electrical equipment
  • Rebooting computers
  • Using SSRL computers other than those provided at the assigned beamline

Off-line use of computer resources:

  • Limit 1 job per blcpu machine
  • Limit usage to blcpu1 and blcpu2 only (blcpu3-5 are reserved for on-line users)
  • There are no restrictions during machine physics and shutdown periods

Thanks for your cooperation!
