All experiment participants must have a current ANL site access (including non-expired badges and ESH-223 safety training) in order to perform work on-site or gain access to the beamline computers for remote operations. ONLY TWO USERS per experiment can be listed on the ESAF to come onsite. On-site users must have all necessary trainings up-to-date and fill out one Onsite User Request Form per ESAF. . Please list the names (INCLUDING EMAIL ADDRESSES) of the people in your group that satisfy these conditions.

Is this is your group’s first experience with the 13 BM-D station?*

Yes

No

Please list other beamline stations (if any) that you have worked at:

During your experiment (whether you are on-site or remotely), we will need to communicate through group chats and calls. We suggest WhatsApp (Facebook owned) or Skype (Microsoft owned) for large groups. Do you use these services? (select all that apply).*

Yes, WhatsApp

Yes, Skype

No, I prefer to use another service

Please enter the phone number associated with your WhatsApp account(s). Enter a phone number for each user.

Please enter the username associated with your Skype account(s). Enter a user name for each user.

Please list your preferred chat service(s), including username(s):

In the case of fully remote operations, please provide a shipping address for us to send cells/samples back to you:*

Street Address City State / Province / Region Postal / Zip Code Country

For shipments, please provide the recipient's name:*

For shipments, please provide the recipient's phone number:*

If you have a FedEx account number which we can use to return your samples, please enter it here (optional):

For remote connection you need at least 2 large monitors and a fast/stable internet connection to operate beamline computers. Will you be able to satisfy these requirements? If not, please provide further details so that we can work with you to ensure the best possible user experience.*

Yes

No

Please tell us a bit more about your network/computing concerns:*

Our physical presence at the beamline is restricted. In the case you will not be on-site would you be willing to run experiments during overnight shifts with minimal support from GSECARS staff?*

Yes

No

Due to unexpected circumstances, including changes in storage ring status, beam loss, or other small misfortunes, plans could change with short notice. Thus, it will be in your best interest to keep us updated on your availability for experiments and be fast responding for that period and ready for action.*

I acknowledge

During your beamtime an e-logbook will be recorded, however, we also require that you keep your own logbook as well. Please acknowledge that you will keep your own logbook.*

I acknowldege

You know the challenges of working with DACs. We are here to work with you and will do our very best to avoid broken anvils or failed samples, but if it happens we do not own responsibility. Do you acknowledge and agree to this? *

I acknowledge and agree

Do you have any further comments or questions?
