Qualification procedure for online SCT shifters

Depending on previous experience people qualifiying for SCT online shifts will be qualified as "returning experts" or "unqualified". Look at Sandra's list of shifters and their qualification status to find your status (linked below).

Returning experts

  • DAQ: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 1 training shift (6 hours)
  • DCS: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 1 training shift (6 hours)
  • DQM: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 1 training shift (6 hours)
  • COOLING: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 1 training shift (6 hours) + 1 qualification shift (8 hours)
You sign up for these on the Work Planner.

Unqualified shifters

  • (contact Sandra Ciocio)
  • read through documentation and tutorials (this is actualy quite nice documentation for everyone).
  • DAQ: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 3 training shifts (6 hours) + 1 qualification shift (8 hours)
  • DCS: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 3 training shifts (6 hours) + 1 qualification shift (8 hours)
  • DQM: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 1 training shifts (6 hours) + 1 qualification shift (8 hours)
  • COOLING: 1 training course(1.5 hours) + 1 training shift (6 hours) + 1 qualification shift (8 hours)
(for exact requirements see Sandra's list of shifters linked below)

IMPORTANT: for the first period of commissioning shift people with previous experience but no formal qualifications are allowed to take shifts. See OTP shift planner (linked below) to know if you already qualify for anything.

Access Required

You need to ask for access to (on EDH):
  • SR1 ("atl_sr1")
  • Control room (new: changed from "atlas_u" to "atl_cr")
  • USA15 ("atl_usa")
  • US15 ("atl_us")
(and get a bio-id token in building 55)

Safety courses required

You can check on your EDH acocunt which courses you have already done.

Point 1 account

You'll also need a "point 1" account. (Send and email to Peter Phillips.)

Radiation badge

Some time soon access to US15 will require having a radiation badge. This requires a medical test and a special radiation safety course. However, for now it seems they have not enough badges available so for this maybe just wait for further information.
