The different possible BigBlueButton conference types cause different network and CPU loads. However, this affects not only the BBB server, but also the participants who use very different Internet providers and who have to share the connections with family members and neighbors. Remember that the whole of Germany is in the "home office" during the Corona crisis. Continue reading "Comparison of different BBB conference types"

Information for users of the KPH BigBlueButton server
Word is getting around about the existence of the KPH BigBlueButton Server, which is why we will restrict free access from now on:
- Participants in a web conference do not need their own account. It is sufficient to send the participants the event link and possibly the room access code with the invitation to a meeting.
- Before you register on the KPH BigBlueButton server, please send an email to distler@uni-mainz.de - we can no longer accept unannounced registrations.
- The KPH BigBlueButton Server is primarily reserved for KPH lecturers and group leaders. As far as the capacity of the server allows, meetings and events of the FB08 can also be scheduled.
All users of the KPH BigBlueButton server are asked to write a short email (with time and estimated number of participants) to distler@uni-mainz.de if they are planning a video conference with ≥4 participants or an audio conference with ≥20 participants . We would then like to monitor the server load. We are currently still assuming that the server can serve around 600 participants, distributed across the simultaneously active virtual rooms.
transponder / key chip FAQ
In October 2018, the entrances to the Institute of Nuclear Physics were equipped with the electronic key system from intrakey. Below we want to answer some frequently asked questions.
Update 2023: The registration process for staff and guests has been changed. See General Organisation
Mathematica
Since March 2016 unlimited Mathematica licenses are available for students and members of the Nuclear Physics and Physics Institutes.
For your work at the institute you should connect your Mathematica version with the new license server: Winlicense-04.zdv.uni-mainz.de
For registered users the latest Mathematica versions for Windows, Linux and Mac can be downloaded via the Wolfram User Portal.
In addition, you can apply for a standalone (home-use) version for 1 year, which will be extended every year, as long as our contract with Wolfram Research is active. After registration and proof of eligibility, Wolfram sends you an email with links to download the latest Mathematica versions for Windows, Linux and Mac together with your personal Activation key.
Please use the following links to apply for the standalone licence and to download the binaries:
