PLEASE READ ALL THE SAFETY AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION GIVEN BELOW

BEFORE YOUR VISIT TO ALICE CERN LHC POINT 2

SAFETY INFO:

• Visits are possible for people with ages 16 years and more.
• Access for pregnant women is restricted.
• Visitors with pacemakers and other active electronic implants are not permitted.

Because of the residual stray magnetic fields, visitors with pacemakers and other active electronic implants are not allowed to take part in the underground visit, unless the implant can be temporary taken off (e.g. hearing aid).

• The ALICE underground tour includes stairs made of metal mesh. Therefore, visitors wearing high/narrow heels or flip-flops are not allowed underground.

For the same reason, the ALICE underground areas are not accessible to wheelchair users.

Additionally, visitors who require crutches for walking cannot visit the cavern due to potential risks during an evacuation.

• ALICE entrance is equipped with a radiation gate monitor. For this reason, visitors having undergone radioactive treatment can access the cavern only during CERN opening hours (Mon - Fri, 9h - 17h) in order for the Radiation Safety Officer to deactivate the security alarm. Only radioactive tracer recently done could eventually trigger the Gate monitor.

PRACTICAL INFO:

• To access the ALICE site, every person must possess a CERN access card valid for the day of the visit. It could be a regular plastic card of a person associated with CERN (e.g. a User), or a temporary visitor card printed on paper.
• If you don't yet have a CERN visitor card valid for the day of the visit - please, request the temporary card via the Indico page while registering. 

In case of any issues with registration, please, contact the organizers one week before the visit.

• For operational reasons, visitors arriving late for the tour by more than 5 minutes will not be permitted.
• Temperature in the ALICE entrance hall is close to the temperature outiside. Most of the tour time will be spent in the exhibition (room temperature) and in the ALICE underground cavern (~19-20°C).
• Please, avoid taking large items underground - you will be asked to leave your large bags on surface (>~20L).
• Toilets are available for visitors at the ALICE site on the ground level, at the start and at the end of the tour.
