User Support Forms

If you have been assigned beamtime on an X-ray or VUV line you probably already received a User Support/Beam Time Notification Form. Review this information carefully, and add to the list any collaborators who will be on-site assisting you with this beam time. Only the collaborators listed on these forms will be allowed through Gates 17 and 30. The blank portions of this form must be filled out completely and returned to SSRL by the specified deadline.

Check the Experimental Set Up information at the bottom of the form. This indicates the monochromator crystal, mirror position and SSRL equipment reserved for your experiment. If your needs have changed or if there are any problems, contact the User Research Administration Office immediately. Any necessary corrections should be annotated on the form before returning it to the User Administration Office. Technical support is very limited, and it is difficult to accommodate requests for equipment or other items not indicated in advance on your Beam Time Request Form or User Support Form.

Blank X-ray and VUV forms are available for completion via electronic submission.

Please Note: User support requirement information is collected as part of the Beam Time Request submittal for Macromolecular Crystallography users.

As a reminder, everyone planning to be on-site for scheduled experiments is required to inform the User Administration Office in advance. Several documents are required, including: a User Information Form and Access Agreement (which includes use of information resources, safety guidelines and hutch authorization). Once the documentation and other training is completed, users will be issued - and must wear at all times while at SSRL/SLAC - an ID badge and dosimeter. Any visitors, collaborators or other users who have not completed training and received their own SLAC ID badge, may get a temporary escort-required badge from Security (also inform the User Administration Office when this happens so we can track these people to the appropriate experiment/proposal and ensure that relevant safety requirements are met). Anyone who signs as an escort must: 1) take full responsibility for the safety of their visitor, 2) go only to designated areas and 3) remain within 'visual contact' of their visitor at all times (this means that visitors will only be permitted through Security Gates 17 or 30 if their escort is with them).
