Onboarding for New Group Members

A catch-all checklist for all possible new group members including academics, postdocs, technicians, grad students and even summer students.

Meetings

The following are possible group meetings.

  • Lunch with the PP group, everyday around noon, typically Vinen Room
  • BILPA Meeting, Tuesdays at 11:00, W229
  • ATLAS Meeting, Thursdays at 10:00, W229

Regular technical meetings should be scheduled with your supervisor.

Computing

More information is available on the UoB Particle System page. Contact Mark Slater to get an account. If you are an undergraduate student, your supervisor will do this for you.

Communication

In-person and e-mail are possible ways of communicating. The Bham PP group also maintains a Mattermost Team. To join it, please share your CERN account with your supervisor. If you are an undergraduate student, you can register for a CERN lightweight account.

A few notable channels are:

  • Social: Organization of social events, including lunches and pub nights.
  • BILPA General: General BILPA chatter.
  • BILPA Irradiations: Discussion related to irradiations at MC40.
  • BILPA ITk Hybrids/Modules: Discussions on ITk module/hybrid assembly.
