Information
This page summarises necessary information for COMET collaboration members.
Standard password
-----------------
This goes 'T**********', if you know what it is. Please ask your
Collaboration Board rep if you do not, and let's keep it within the
collaboration.

Account management at the KEK/J-PARC level is now all online, under a
single portal site which is at <https://ccportal.kek.jp>.

An account is needed to access site, via the Portal (see above).
Pages can still be password-protected within this, in which case it is
the Collaboration-standard password.

(This is not being used by all working groups, however)
Request summary page
-----------
You can send requests for detector assembly space or equipment etc to the COMET KEK facility group through the page at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eQpp8B8J31hD-VH3X_OgUfrgpWXQSbpytlxLbCHsOH8/edit?usp=sharing
The KEK group will make best efforts to realize though there would be a case not fully satisfying.
Bicycles at J-PARC
------------------
For those without cars, it is useful to rent a bicycle when at J-PARC.
You can book one by putting a request in the "Application form to visit
J-PARC" (instructions are on that page) at the same time that you
register for accommodation.
The Hadron Hall Secretariat, located on the 2nd floor of the Tokai 1
Building, also has bicycles that we are able to rent.
These are both free of charge.
Software Repository based on Git and GitLab
-------------------------------------------
The software for COMET, ICEDUST, and all the documentation,
issue-tracking and coding support systems all reside on our own GitLab
site, maintained by our friends at the IN2P3 Computing Centre in Lyon.
To obtain an account, head to: <http://gitlab.in2p3.fr> and follow the
sign-up instructions on the landing page. Once you have created an
account, send the username to <Yoshi.Uchida@imperial.ac.uk> so that I
can add you to the COMET group on GitLab. Please let me know who you are
working with and how long you expect to be working on the experiment.
Getting Started with the Software:
Instructions for installing ICEDUST can then be accessed at: <https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/comet/ICEDUST_packages/wikis/installation>
Software Trac/Wiki site and Subversion Repository
--------------------------------------------------
Please note that the hostname for this changed to muec.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk
in August 2020.
Our old software repository was based on the "Trac" system, and whilst
many aspects of this have moved over to GitLab, we do still use it for
some software-related work (which we probably should move away from some
time in the future).
The Trac wiki is at <https://muec.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/trac/wiki>, where
further instructions can be found.
To obtain an account for both the Subversion repository and the Trac
site, please email Simon Fayer <simon.fayer05@imperial.ac.uk>, cc:ing
Yoshi.Uchida@imperial.ac.uk, requesting an account on the COMET SVN/Trac
site.
Once you have an account, you can reset your password at:
<https://muec.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/comet.cgi>
DocDB site for general document management
------------------------------------------
We are using the DocDB site at: <https://muec.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/docdb/cgi/DocumentDatabase>
to share files with each other. The login details are the same as for
the Trac/Subversion site above. Admittedly, this is used less and less
nowadays, as Indico and the <www-comet.kek.jp> site become more popular.
Executive Board
---------------
* Yoshi Kuno (Osaka, Spokesperson) <kuno@phys.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp>
* Satoshi Mihara (KEK, Project Manager) <satoshi.mihara@kek.jp>
* Yoshi Uchida (Imperial and Osaka, Collaboration Board Chair)
