Travel & Housing—and other logistical matters
This section has information on directions, site access and training, meals and lodging, travel reimbursement, proper attire, and computer requirements.
Directions, Etc.
Directions to APS, information on ground transportation, maps, and more are available on the Visiting the APS page. The meeting will be held in Bldg. 434 of the APS.
Computer Requirements
Participants should bring a notebook computer with Jana2006 and Bruker-compatible solution software. Please contact Yu-Sheng Chen if you need help obtaining appropriate software.
Site Access & Required Training
New Users: Successful applicants who are not already APS users must register with the APS by October 21 via the APS online form.
Argonne National Laboratory is a controlled-access facility.
By registering, you begin the administrative steps required to gain approval for you to enter the Argonne site and to do hands-on work at the APS. Special considerations apply to persons who are not U.S. citizens. Please DO NOT come to Argonne until you have received confirmation from the APS User Office that permission has been granted for your visit. You must also complete training required by APS; please follow instructions from the APS User Office.
Current users: We will contact you if retraining is required. Remote training is now available; please complete the remote training or schedule and complete training on-site before the course begins.
Meals
Meals will be provided from breakfast on Thursday, Dec. 4, through lunch on Friday, Dec. 5.
Lodging
Onsite housing will be provided at the Argonne Guest House for the nights of December 3 and 4, if desired.
Payment for any additional nights is the responsibility of the participant.
Once notified of acceptance, you may reserve a room by contacting the Guest House, located less than a block from the APS (see map).
Reservations must be made by November 19. Specify “ChemMatCARS Advanced Crystallography Workshop” when making your reservation.
A number of other hotels are located relatively close to Argonne; a list can be found by an Internet search.
No special rates have been established for these hotels, and participants who choose to stay offsite are responsible for all costs. Transportation will not be provided.
Travel Reimbursement
Participants may request reimbursement up to $300 for reasonable transportation expenses or mileage. For air travel, an original airline receipt showing payment is required.
Proper Attire
The temperature in the APS experiment hall floor is maintained at a constant 72°F (22°C) year round.
Proper attire for work in the experiment hall includes closed-toe, covered-heel shoes and long pants.
Sandals are not acceptable.
Skirts may be worn if a lab coat is also worn.
