This page will assist you in getting a BNL guest number, which is a requirement of the RCF "new account" procedure.

At the bottom of this page is the link to BNL's Guest Registration form. Clicking on it will take you to the guest registration page.

It is very important that the section concerning the RCF is filled in correctly. Please look at the example provided,  prior to accessing the guest registration form. This will assure that your application will be routed to the RHIC/AGS users office and be processed properly.

This is the section which assists us in processing you as an RCF user.

1. The "Department to be Visited" must be Physics Dept (RHIC/AGS)
 

2. On the "Experiment/Facility" line, Experiment must be RHIC
 

3. On the "Experiment/Facility" line, the Facility is your collaboration. ( Typically Brahms, Phenix, Phobos, Star)
 

4. On the "Type of Access Requested" line, there are two choices.   If you know that you will NOT be visiting BNL
and only require remote access to RCF computer systems, then you should select "Remote Computer Access Only."
 If you will be visiting or working at BNL, then you should select "Physical on-site Access to BNL", so that your
application will be processed in a way that grants you access to come on-site.

IMPORTANT NOTE:   Requesting "Remote Computer Access Only"  WILL NOT  give you approval for physical access onto Brookhaven property.
If you require physical access, you should choose "Physical on-site Access to BNL".   Questions should be directed to the Users’ Center at userscenter@bnl.gov .
