Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce this Special Issue devoted to silicon tracking detectors.
Silicon tracking detectors are widely used in high-energy particle physics experiments and will be important parts of future projects. This Special Issue will provide a summary of the state-of-the-art trackers used in current projects, from LHC and other HEP experiments, review lessons learnt. and provide an overview of various developments for future projects.
Contributions are expected to deal with but are not limited to the following areas:
- Challenges and unexpected problems encountered in the most recent large silicon detectors' construction and operation;
- Ongoing activities on HL-LHC tracking detector development and (pre-)production;
- Novel silicon tracking detector technologies for future experiments;
- Novel technologies for tracking detectors from HL-LHC to FCC.

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. Instruments is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
