Max-Planck-Institut für Physik (MPP)

The registration is done locally. You will get a user account to login to the (centrally managed) desktop PCs.

Rechenzentrum Garching (RZG)

The RZG provides a web interface for registration:

https://www.rzg.mpg.de/secure/registrieren/antrag.php?inst=MPP&lang=en

Choose Dr. Stefan Kluth as institute representative and fill in your data, using

position	guest
mentor	Hubert Kroha

login name	same as MPP user name
shell	bash

Usually, the registration is processed and approved within 1-2 days.

ATLAS / lxplus

The ATLAS registration is available from

http://atlassec.web.cern.ch/atlassec/Registration.htm

Choose the form in the section "external participation". Provide the completed form to Anja Schielke, who will take care of the signature by Siegfried Bethke and sending it to the ATLAS secretary. As the registation process takes a few days, better start the process in advance.
