Communications and Collaborative Tools

The Mu2e Collaboration uses a variety of resources for communication within the collaboration, institutional memory and communication to the outside world. Those resources are described here:

The Mu2e Document Database

This is the core of Mu2e's institutional memory, containing talks, internal notes, policies, planning documents and project management documents. It also contains copies of selected external documents to ensure that we have a reliable reference copy.

• https://mu2e-docdb.fnal.gov/cgi-bin/sso/DocumentDatabase/ (Use SSO password)
• General information and guidelines for use.

The Mu2e Web Site

• The main Mu2e public presence on the internet is: https://mu2e.fnal.gov.
• There is also content restricted to those working on Mu2e: https://mu2e.fnal.gov/atwork/.
  • The restricted pages are accessed using your SSO credentials.
• The internal part of the web site is main web presence of the Mu2e Construction Project and many of the subsystems.
• In the future, tools for monitoring data processing and data quality will be accessed via the web site.
• Most of the computing and simulation related content has been moved off the web site and is now on the Mu2e Wiki.
• We anticipate that most of the forum for organizing physics work will be on the Mu2e Wiki, not on the web site.

Wikis

The Mu2e wiki was created long after the Mu2e web site. The collaboration has decided that some mature content will always remain on the web site and that some developing content has been moved to the wiki. All of the computing and software documentation is on the wiki. Most new content should be added to the wiki.

For technical reasons Mu2e has two wikis, one for public content and one restricted to people working on Mu2e

• https://mu2ewiki.fnal.gov/wiki
• https://mu2einternalwiki.fnal.gov/wiki

To access either site you need to authenticate using your SSO password. This lets you see the full content of the public site and the front page of the internal site. This step only gets your through a Fermilab firewall and anyone with Fermilab SSO credentials can do this. Editing the public site is restricted to Mu2e members; to edit the site you need to login using the button in the upper right corner. To see beyond the front page of the internal site, you need to log in to the site.

The Mu2e-II project has it's own wiki:

• https://mu2eiiwiki.fnal.gov/wiki/Mu2e-II

Like the internal site, this page is protected by two layers of SSO. The first layer lets you see the front page. To see the full site you need to log in. The authorization list to loginfor this site is maintained separately than the authorization list for the two Mu2e sites. To be added to the list, contact the Mu2e-II leadership.

SLACK

There is Mu2e Slack workspace. For details see our Slack wiki page.

Hypernews

Electronic Collaboration Logbook (ECL)

The Electronic Collaboration Logbook is used for logging activities and events thoughout Mu2e construction, installation, commissioning, operation, etc.

https://dbweb0.fnal.gov/ECL/mu2e

When you request an account, you must request that your username be your SSO username. When you authenticate use your SSO password.

If you are working on any data taking activity, such as a test stand, test beam, or Vertical Slice Test, you will need to request an account on the ECL.
