Due to Run3 operation underground public visits
can not be organised.
Only surface visits are authorised and the visits can only be
requested by LHCb members.
Professional visits* may be authorised, depending on ongoing
work, when beam is not present,
e.g. during Technical Stop.
*(Visits can also be organised by the Protocol or
Press Office services)
SURFACE VISITS
- Send an email to lhcb-visits@cern.ch,
precising date, time, total number of participants (visitors +
guides).
- We will then be able to inform you if your visit can take place or
not.
- An impact will be placed by the secretariat
PROFESSIONAL VISITS
Important
information
-
Professional visits must be approved by a Department Head
or a Spokesperson.
- To avoid conflicts with any work taking place underground and
elevator congestion visits should take place outside
working hours, i.e. Mon-Fri 12h00-14h00 or after 18h00.
- Only two people can use the PZ lift at the same time
due to Covid rules: in order for visitors not to be left
unattended each visitor needs to be accompanied by 1 escort.
- Visits can take place in the designated visit area, i.e. Delphi
and the LHCb visitors viewing platforms. Escorts will ensure to
keep to the designated circuit.
- Only LHCb guides or people knowing well the cavern can act as
escorts.
How
to organise the visit
- Send an email to lhcb-visits@cern.ch,
precising date, time, total number of participants (visitors +
escorts).
- A special IMPACT for Professional visits will be created by the
LHCb secretariat.
- Visitors need to be listed in the IMPACT, for that they have to
be registered at CERN, either with the specific status of
Professional visitors (scan version of the ID card of passport
should be provided) or as staff or users.
- Visitors need to go to Bldg. 55 (07h30-16h00), accompanied by
the escort listed in the IMPACT, where their biometry
identification will be integrated in a token valid for the
duration of the visit.
- Visitors will go through the PZ access via their token and their
biometry identification.
- The escort will get an operational dosimeter from the Traka
cabinet outside the control room and activate it via the PC
situated there - instructions are provided on the side of the PC.
- At the end of the visit, the escort will switch off the
operational dosimeter and by doing so register it in the IMPACT.
Finally the visitor or the escort will return the visitor token to
Bldg. 55.
