Hello, I want to announce that there is a new online mechanism to sign-up for time for the Raith system in the McKay Basement Cleanroom. You can access the site at the URL: http://cims-signup.harvard.edu Please note that this replaces the paper based sign-up system. All entries on paper has been put on the site. The site is now the official method to allot your time. This site also contains information as to the status of the Raith and some other equipment. Any questions or comments you may have regarding this change in policy may be forwarded to me, Jim Reynolds, Administrative Manager of CIMS at reynolds(a)physics.harvard.edu If you require the Raith Technician, Yuan Lu to be present for technical reasons during your Raith session, you must send him an email at ylu(a)fas.harvard.edu as there is no automatic notification feature in the new site. Please give no less than 24 hour notice to Yuan if you require him. This is a temporary measure being done on a trial basis. A more permanent solution will be rolled out sometime in the near future. thanks, Jim
