1619847 : Desy ID To Access XFEL Data in Maxwell Jupyter¶

Created: 2026-07-24T06:39:51Z - current status: new¶

Anonymized Summary:¶

A user wants to create a DESY account to access their experimental data via the Maxwell JupyterHub (max-jhub.desy.de). They mention participation in experiment [EXPERIMENT_ID] and existing accounts ([UXEL_USERNAME], [UPEX_USERNAME]) under the same identifier.

---

Issue:¶

The user lacks clarity on how to gain access to the Maxwell JupyterHub to view their data, assuming account creation is required.

---

Solution:¶

1. Access Prerequisite:

2. Access to the Maxwell JupyterHub requires prior authorization for the Maxwell cluster itself. Simply needing the JupyterHub is insufficient grounds for granting access. (Source: DESY Maxwell JupyterHub Documentation)

3. Next Steps:

4. Verify if the user already has Maxwell cluster access (via their [UXEL/UPEX] accounts). If not, they must apply for Maxwell access separately through DESY’s administrative channels.

5. Once Maxwell access is confirmed, log in to max-jhub.desy.de using DESY credentials.

6. Alternative:

7. If Maxwell access cannot be obtained, the user may use a local single-user Jupyter server to analyze their data.
