Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasma today plays a key role in physical and technological research environments, as much as in industrial chemistry, space research and fusion.New applications of plasmas continue to accelerate at an increasing rate, e.g., in the treatment of materials, or developments in medical and healthcare machinery.
Among the scenarios opened up by the generation of plasmas, a key challenge is to accelerate high-quality particles for the controlled production of secondary radiation, such as x-rays. In this and the other above-mentioned cases, the study and technological development of the plasma source, including the diagnostics required to detect its characteristics, is therefore essential.
This Special Issue will be devoted to advances in plasma source technology studied and used in nuclear physics or accelerator physics research environments.

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.
