CERN Analysis Preservation facilitates the collaborative nature of the LHC collaborations. The access restrictions are those selected by the respective LHC collaboration. Do not share materials outside the foreseen access restrictions or otherwise circumvent CAP’s access restrictions. Many materials that can be found through the service might be work in progress, so they should be used with caution.
