Personal European XFEL ID access card
To access European XFEL Experiment Hall and other restricted areas you need a personal European XFEL Id access card. Access cards are printed at the entrance gate (operative 24/7). The card has to be activated by passing it for 3 seconds on one of the terminals. The terminals (black or gray card devices mounted on columns or walls) are located in front of entrances to buildings and at the gate barriers. The terminal should blink green. The activation lasts for 24 hours, after that you need to activate the card again. The access card is yours: keep it and bring it back if you participate in future experiments.
If you already have a European XFEL Id access card or a DESY DACHS Card, relevant access rights will be granted on the existing card. Remember to bring it with you and to activate it on the terminal.
Transponder
To access the Experiment Hall you need the access card together with a Transponder. These devices are distributed by User Office. We do collect signatures and you are responsible for the proper use and restitution of it. When UO is not staffed (early-morning/late-night/weekend/holidays) you can collect your transponder at the entrance gate (operative 24/7). It will be available in an envelope in your name, so please ask for it.
Due to safety reasons, for large experiment team, we agree with the Main Proposer and local contact on specific procedure to collect the transponder. You will be informed in due time.
Transponders are property of European XFEL and they have to be returned directly to UO, or in one of the 2 dedicated mailboxes (near UO door, near main entrance gate).
