Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The open-access journal Particles has launched a new Special Issue entitled "The Search for Feebly Interacting Scalar Particles". Interaction among the Higgs boson and a new scalar (also known as Higgs portal interaction) is proposed in many models to address some of the most important open problems in particle physics. This issue is intended to cover all aspects of the search for and measurements of this new phenomenology at accelerator experiments, both at the high-energy and at the high-intensity frontier.
Papers submitted to this Special Issue are expected to also discuss the techniques (detector, trigger, reconstruction, or analysis) exploited to identify such elusive signatures, thus providing an overview of the complementary strategies followed at collider and at extracted beam experiments.
As Guest editor, we invite you to contribute an original article or balanced review to this Special Issue. Both papers presenting the current state of these searches in running experiments and papers discussing new ideas for future experiments will be accepted.
Dr. Alessandro Di Mattia
Guest Editor
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. Particles 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 1600 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.
