Welcome new collaborator! The following is a collection of links and suggestions in order to get you oriented and on the way to analyzing GlueX data.
Communication
GlueX is a multi-purpose experiment with many subsystems. Many people work on this experiment, and their efforts are organized into different subgroups, so communication is an important aspect of collaboration.
- Meetings: GlueX has many meetings that meet on a regular basis (usually every other week). Important meetings are that of the Physics Working Group and the overall Collaboration Biweekly Meeting. You will also want to attend the appropriate topical working group for your analysis topic. These meetings can be accessed online via BlueJeans
- Email: GlueX has several email lists used for discussion and annoucements. You will be added to the GlueX Collaboration email list when you become an official Collaboration member. Another good list to subscribe to is the halld-physics list. You can get extra help at the Software Help List.
- Slack is a text chat service used for more informal communication. Many experts and other collaborators hang out there and are available to answer your questions. Sign up here.

Software
- You will need to get a JLab computing account. Find more information on this page.
- If you have trouble accessing the wiki or other services, you may not be part of the "halld" group - contact Mark Ito.
- Here is some documentation about the computing resources available at JLab.
- If you are working on the JLab ifarm, you will need to configure the GlueX computing environment. Follow these instructions.
- If you are mostly working at another institution, please contact your local software experts. You can also try building your own version of this software, but this will take a lot of time and disk space!
