Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Particle accelerators are critical research tools in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, materials science, and radiochemistry, and they are also used in commercial applications such as semiconductor fabrication, radiotherapy, security, and irradiation. Recent advances in accelerators have become possible due to developments in the physics of charged particle beams, microwave technologies, use of new materials, and fabrication techniques. Many innovations in accelerator science and technology have already been acknowledged, while many others are still in development.
The goal of this Special Issue is to offer a comprehensive look at the recent advances in particle accelerators for both research and industrial applications. The topics of interest for this issue include recent results and proposals for research facilities, novel accelerator concepts, materials, and fabrication techniques, beam diagnostics and instruments, advanced theoretical concepts as well as novel applications such as producing advanced high-performance materials, chemical effects of radiation under special conditions, advanced radiotherapy concepts, and radioisotope production and replacement.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
