A special collection of articles on proposed extreme beam physics experiments on the FACET-II facility at SLAC.
Physical Review Accelerators and Beams is publishing a special collection on proposed extreme beam physics experiments on the FACET-II facility at SLAC. Nan Phinney (SLAC/Stanford, United States) will act as the editor of this collection.
Physical Review Accelerators and Beams (PRAB) is an all-electronic journal published by the American Physical Society and available at https://journals.aps.org/prab/ . The all-electronic nature of PRAB allows conference editions while maintaining thorough peer review and timely publication. In addition, it provides global access and archiving beyond that ordinarily offered by conference proceedings. The PRAB template available through links on the PRAB home page is the required format for submissions.
Papers submitted to PRAB will be peer-reviewed through the normal refereeing procedure, and if accepted for publication they will be published as regular PRAB articles and as part of the FACET II special collection.
Publication will be timely; articles will be published as soon as they are ready with no delay waiting for other papers presented at the conference. In addition, the Table of Contents and the special-collection web site will be updated each time a paper is published.
PRAB Criteria: Papers must either contain important new results in science and/or technology, or, in the case of “review articles”, survey active areas of research in a form that is useful to both practitioners and people entering the field. Confirmation of previously published results of unusual importance can be considered as new, as can significant null results. Papers cannot be duplicates of work submitted for publication to another journal or fully identical to work already published in some accelerator conference proceedings. A conference paper can, however, be the basis of an article in PRAB provided the submitted manuscript presents more information, enabling the reader to obtain an improved understanding of the subject.
There are many reasons why you should consider publishing in the PRAB FACET II Special Collection:
1) PRAB is a peer reviewed, American Physical Society journal. Peer reviewed articles benefit from careful reading and criticism of a knowledgeable colleague.
2) PRAB is available to everyone without subscription or pay per view fees, and PRAB is an archival journal. The APS is committed to maintaining that availability even as computer technology and software change.
3) PRAB has no page limits, so this is the opportunity to write about your work without that limitation. However, papers should not greatly exceed 50 pages.
4) Your article will be published in a timely manner and grouped together with other work related to FACET II.
We look forward to your contribution.
Contact Frank Zimmermann (frank.zimmermann@cern.ch), the PRAB Editor, if you have general questions related to the PRAB policies and Nan Phinney (nan@slac.stanford.edu), if you have particular questions regarding publishing your paper in the FACET II Special Collection.
Authors should note that their paper is for the FACET II Special Collection in the message accompanying submission to PRAB.
