Advances in Accelerators and Spectrometers of Beam Physics

Dear Colleagues,

Accelerators and spectrometers are essential tools in the field of beam physics; they enable the manipulation and measurement of charged particle beams for a wide range of applications, from fundamental research in nuclear and particle physics to practical applications such as medical imaging and cancer therapy. Over the years, significant advances have been made in the development of accelerators and spectrometers, leading to improvements in beam quality, energy, and intensity, as well as new techniques for beam manipulation and measurement.

This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in accelerators and spectrometers of beam physics, including both experimental and theoretical studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• New accelerator and spectrometer designs and concepts;
• Techniques for beam manipulation and measurement, such as beam steering and focusing, beam profile and emittance measurement, and energy measurement;
• Advances in high-power and high-intensity particle beams;
• Beam instrumentation, such as detectors and beam monitors;
• Applications of accelerators and spectrometers in nuclear and particle physics, materials science, medical physics, and other fields.

Submissions may include original research articles, review articles, and short communications. All manuscripts will be subject to a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of contributions to the Special Issue.

We invite researchers in the field of beam physics to submit their latest research and discoveries to this Special Issue with the aim of advancing the state of the art in the development of accelerators and spectrometers. The Special Issue will provide a valuable platform for researchers to share their work and exchange ideas, and will be of interest to physicists, engineers, and other professionals in the field of particle and nuclear physics, as well as researchers in related fields such as materials science and medical physics.

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. Quantum Beam Science 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.
