Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photon diagnostics is a field that bridges the gap between the machines (like particle accelerators) used to generate photon beams and the experimenters using light for research. The devices and methods employed in photon diagnostics serve two purposes: firstly, they provide information to the machine operators to improve and monitor the performance of their setups; secondly, they provide information to the experimenters about the properties of the photons they use in the experiments for better data analysis and easier setups and are often an integral part in the data-taking process. The field of photon diagnostics is large and growing. Efforts are being made to attain both non-intrusive measurements for online, real-time feedback and better intrusive measurements for improved setups of machines or experiments. The most commonly measured beam properties are spectra, energy, position, arrival time of photons for pump–probe experiments, photon pulse lengths, and transverse profiles. The field also uses the devices to set up new methods for the improvement of operations or experimental data-taking based on machine learning and algorithm development.

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.
