What to Expect When Working at the Detector Microfabrication Facility (DMF) - Users

All users performing work at the Detector Microfabrication Facility (DMF) must complete the following steps prior to beginning work onsite. Please maintain close communication with your assigned DMF Point of Contact (POC) throughout the process and contact your POC with any questions or concerns.

Coordinating with Your DMF Point of Contact and SLAC Site Access

Work scheduling and site access must be coordinated with your assigned DMF POC prior to arriving onsite.

1. Complete the SSQF Access Request Form

Complete and submit the SSQF Access Request Form. Your DMF POC will review your request and provide guidance regarding the next steps in the access process.

2. Complete SLAC Guest Registration

Once your SSQF request has been processed, your DMF POC will initiate an invitation through the SLAC Guest Gateway. You will receive two emails as part of the registration process:

  • First email: You will receive an email from no-reply@slac.stanford.edu with instructions to register your guest information.
  • Second email: After completing the steps in the first email, you will receive an email from Identity Services (identity-services-noreply@slac.stanford.edu) with instructions to register your federated account.

Please complete both registration steps promptly to help avoid delays in the approval process.

3. Receive Your SLAC-Issued ID

Once the required registration steps have been completed and approved, you will receive an email containing your SLAC-issued ID.

Important: The approval process may take additional time for foreign nationals. If this applies to you, please notify your DMF POC as early as possible so they can assist with expediting the process.

4. Complete Required Training

All required training must be completed prior to arriving onsite.

  • Review the full list of DMF Required Trainings.
  • Access the SLAC Web Training Portal.

    *Additional training may be required depending on the specific tools or equipment you will be using.

Once all required training has been completed, please notify your DMF POC. Your POC will then coordinate and schedule a DMF facility walkthrough.
