The LCLS provides a number of tools that allow users and staff to participate remotely in experiments while access to the site is restricted due to COVID-19 safety protocols.  These were demonstrated in the LCLS User Town Hall held on July 23, 2020.  This page will provide an overview of tools for external (incl. users) and internal (staff only) use, and provides links to pages with additional details such as installation and usage guides, as well as minimum system requirements.

Public Tools for All LCLS Users and Staff

The LCLS provides a number of internally developed and 3rd party tools to share information before, during, and following an experiment.  At all times during the process, the spokesperson and collaborators should continue to communicate directly with their assigned LCLS Point of Contact, and use the standard tools such as the Experiment Questionnaire and Electronic Log Book of Experiment, "eLog", (links below).

We Want your Feedback!

We have prepared a Remote-Access Reporting Tool so users and staff can report the result of their testing with the tools described herein, which have significant network bandwidth requirements.  Please share your results with us so we can improve these services for the entire LCLS community.

Internal Tools

Internally, we are using or developing additional remote access tools.  They are described here for information purposes.  If you believe your experiment would benefit from the use of these tools, contact your LCLS experiment Point of Contact to discuss.
