The procedure for obtaining an account on our HEP computer systems is described here. There are minor differences for staff, research students, undergraduate project students and external users.

We maintain our own HEP computer systems completely independently of the Physics Department or University therefore all questions concerning HEP computer resources should be adressed to us.

To get your account you first need to read our HEP Acceptable use of Computing Resources page and the departmental AUP document. After reading these, send an e-mail to Julia Au (manager@hep.phy.cam.ac.uk) with an e-mail stating "I have read, understood and agree to the terms in the HEP Acceptable Use of Computing Policy".

You should also complete and return the appropriate new user account request form.
