Announcement

On Thursday and Friday, March 27 & 28th 2008, the first Bay Area Phenix User Meeting will be held at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. During these two days, the phenix developers will give lectures on the latest developements and Phenix usage. Half of the user meeting will be in the form of informal hands on sessions, allowing participants to work with the developers. Participants are ecouraged to bring their own (reduced) data to be used during hands on sessions. Due to the highly interactive format of the meeting, there is space for only 16 participants.

Software

The latest phenix distribution can be found here. Username and password are written on the blackboard. This distribution is a development release and has some known issues. A release with bug fixes is imminent. This version of phenix is intended for use in the workshop only!

Computing

Hefty calculations can be performed on bcsb-nx.als.lbl.gov. Ideally use an NX client obtainable from nomachine. User logins and passwords have been created and can be obtained from Peter Zwart (PHZwart@lbl.gov).

Site access

There is a map of parking areas here. We will arrange parking if you need it (contact Delia Clark, 510-486-6331, DNClark@lbl.gov), and it should also be possible to park in the cafeteria parking lot if you have been given blue-triangle parking. Those using the shuttle bus should ask the driver where to get off the bus exactly. If you intend to hire a car and drive to the lab please let us know so that we can arrange site access.

Our Site Access and Security office requires that we obtain the declared citizenship status of all visitors to Berkeley Lab. We will obtain this information from you once the lat of participants has been confirmed. Also, you may be required to show identification upon entry to Berkeley Lab. Please bring a photo ID with you. If you already have an LBL ID badge please bring that with you.
