computing

computer account if you plan to analyze any SuperCDMS data.  To get access to Confluence, you will need have your SLAC computer account linked to Confluence (see Step

6 To register, fill in the form located at

Please be aware that the approval process of your user application can be quite long (typically 2-3weeks).

  1. Before requesting a SLAC username and account, you must be a registered member of the CDMS Collaboration.  The registration page is linked here.

Register with SLUO (SLAC Users Organization)

  1. Become a SLAC User (member of SLUO, the SLAC User Organization).
    To enroll, follow the instructions at the Scientific Collaborative Researcher Registration Site:  https://

titleSLAC computing form details
  • Requestor information: leave blank
  • SID #: This is found in the e-mail confirming the creation of your SLUO account (see above)
  • New Account Type: request both Unix and Windows accounts
  • SLAC e-mailbox: It is really your choice but whatever you choose be sure to read emails from SLAC. If you work primarily at another institution, you can select None; you can still receive e-mails at USERNAME@slac.stanford.edu, they will simply be forwarded to your primary e-mail account; otherwise, MS Exchange or Unix should probably be selected on the basis of your preferred e-mail client.
  • Requested User ID: This will be your username at SLAC and your SLAC email address, if you choose to have one (username@slac.stanford.edu). Generally some combination of your last name and possibly your first name or initial would be best – this will make it easier for other users to identify who you actually are from files that you create or edit. Usernames may contain digits 0-9, lower-case letters a-z, and the special character "-". Must begin with a lower-case letter a-z. Must not be shorter than 3 or longer than 8 characters.
  • Signature: No signature is needed. You will electronically sign later in the process.
  • Authorization: leave blank
