Accounts and Registration

First Steps for New Members

1. Getting a Computing Account - You will need an account for logging into login.hep.wisc.edu. Please contact Kim Palladino so she can request a new hep account (if you don't already have an account) and enroll you as a member of the ddm (direct dark matter) group for privileges. You need to wait for final approval that will be done by the administrators, wait up to a day especially on weekends. When they approve the account and/or membership request, you will get a notification email.
