Set up a user agreement between your organization and LBNL, if there is not already one in place. Recharge customers (those who pay for beam time) must have a user agreement, purchase order, and an advance payment check in place before beam can be delivered. For other users, a user agreement should be in place between your organization and LBNL, but no account is necessary.

Register with the Administrative Services Office 2-3 weeks before coming to the Cyclotron. All new users and guests, both U.S. and Non-U.S. citizens, must begin the required registration process by completing the Affiliate Registration Form (ARF Form). Other forms will need to be signed on arrival, or you can complete them ahead of time and bring them with you. The forms are available below under "Affiliate Forms."

New users and guests who are not U.S. citizens must provide additional documentation. Please refer to http://www.lbl.gov/ehs/security/ufva/index.shtml for more information.

Please notify the Administrative Services Office as soon as you are aware of the date and time of your arrival and departure so that all required documents and training will be ready for you. The Administrative Services Office will arrange for a Laboratory Gate Pass and Parking in the Cyclotron lot (if needed) when notified in advance of arrival. Please enter Laboratory premises via the Blackberry Gate entrance on Cyclotron Road. Gate security can provide directions to the Cyclotron and a 1-day parking permit.

The Administrative Services Office is open weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. to process new users.

Please arrival at the 88-Inch Cyclotron during office hours. If you absolutely cannot arrive during normal working hours, you must alert the Administrative Office before hand. You will be given safety training by the Control Room Operator on duty. You must complete all of the required forms and complete the 88-Inch Cyclotron building training before beginning work of any kind. The forms (available on our User Forms page) can be completed prior to coming to the Cyclotron. You may submit any completed forms via email to DJTrowbridge-Williams@lbl.gov. New users and guests will need to return to the Administrative Services Office the next working day to complete the registration process and obtain access to the Cyclotron for the duration of your research or visit.
