The ATLAS User Program - Visitor Information  Site Access:Researchers who plan to come to Argonne for an ATLAS experiment are required to complete certain forms. All ATLAS Users need to have a Guest Facilities User Agreement completed and signed (click here). The amount of lead time needed and complexity involved will depend on their status. In any case, Users should contact either Mrs. Barbara Weller ([email protected]) or the ATLAS User Liaison Physicist, Shaofei Zhu ([email protected]) as far in advance of their arrival as possible. Please Note: There soon will be an additional informational requirement for visitor access. This change will require vehicle registration prior to receiving a visitor gate pass. In addition to the current information gathered, visitors will be required to provide the Visitor Center clerks with vehicle make, model, color and license plate number, which will be entered into the Gate Pass system.
Individuals entering the US under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP):Effective October 26, 2004, all individuals entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) must present a machine readable passport (MRP) at a U. S. Port of Entry to be admitted into the United States without a visa. Travelers without machine readable passports must obtain a non-immigrant visa at a U. S. Embassy or Consulate before gaining access to the United States. If you are planning to come to Argonne for an experiment at ATLAS, please check your passport to make sure it is machine readable. If a family member will accompany you, each family member needs an individual passport since the MRPs typically have biodata for only one traveler in the machine-readable zone. The following 27 countries participate in the Visa Waiver Program: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
