Access cards
Each external participant must be in possession of a CERN visitor card, which must be worn where it can be easily seen. The visitor card bears the holder, who is the only person permitted to use it, and its maximum period of validity is the duration of the Crystal Collimation meeting. The Indico registration form will be used to give access. All participants must register online using one of the forms indicated. Each external participant’s right to access the site will be individually confirmed in Indico. The participants receive an e-mail asking them to fill in their nationality and date and place of birth online (in an Indico form). When this information has been submitted, each participant receives an e-mail containing a reservation code and a visitor card, which should be printed in A4 format and then folded into four to obtain an A6 format. The back of the visitors cards will be customised for the HL-LHC Crystal Collimation.
On the day of the event, participants must be able to show their visitor cards, along with a valid identity document, to the security guard on duty at Reception in Building 33. A badge holder is distributed on arrival, so that the visitor card can be worn where it can be easily seen. Any participant who forgets to bring a visitor card may request that a replacement be printed by entering the reservation code at the terminal provided for this purpose at Reception, or by presenting it to the security guard at Entrance B.
No visitor cards can be issued to accompanying persons who are not on the list of conference participants.
Participants arriving at CERN by private transport may park in the visitors’ car park adjacent to the Globe, except in the park and ride (P+R) area. By default, they are permitted to enter and leave the car park only once. Where bringing a car onto the CERN site is justified, holders of visitor cards can obtain "laissez-passer" sticker for their private vehicle. The need for these stickers must be indicated and substantiated in the visitor card application. The stickers, which are produced by the Reception and Access Control Service, bear the relevant vehicle registration number and are valid for the same period as the holder's visitor card.
