Welcome to the LPC
Welcome to the LHC Physics Center:
The LPC serves as a resource and physics analysis hub for physicists in the CMS collaboration.
Accounts:
- Apply for Fermilab identity, cmslpc (LPC CAF), Services, Kerberos, and Windows accounts all in one form (uscms.org link). This step may take 4-6 weeks, please do this application well in advance of your remote computing need and/or onsite visit.
- Renew your existing Fermilab accounts - may take 4-6 weeks!
- Follow this link to find the Onsite Only Access Request form (for Affiliates, Users and Contractors who already have computing access – requires services account login) - this step may take some time
- Learn more about Fermilab badging, site access, and accounts at the Fermilab Campus Access and Experience
- Get your CMS CERN account and personal grid certificate
- Information for all users connecting to the Fermilab network onsite, guest, eduroam or registered
- Connect to the Fermilab network when you are onsite - guest and eduroam - temporary visitor
- Register your computer to access the Fermilab network

Office Space at the LPC:
- Many US institutes have a group space which visitors can use in Wilson Hall on the 10th and 11th floor. Contact LPC Coordinators for office space and more information. Short term LPC guests can also work in the Wilson Hall 11th floor crossover.
Events at the LPC:
There are many activities hosted at the LPC, many can be attended remotely by Vidyo. These serve to educate, inform, collaborate, and assist in analysis and computing.

LPC support
LPC staff is here to help you with your physics and computing problems. In your first days onsite at Fermilab, you
are encouraged to have a welcome chat with Gabriele Benelli, Physics Analysis support in Wilson Hall 11E (halfway down on the left).
We can connect you with other local users with your analysis interests, EPR, or other CMS activities.
