How to prepare your paper

Proceedings

Elsevier/North-Holland Publishing Company will publish the proceedings of the Vienna Conference on Instrumentation as a special (but consecutively numbered) issue of Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research, Section A. Due to space limitations in the journal, they will include the majority of the papers submitted, but not all of them. The final selection of papers for publication in NIM A will be made by the International Advisory Committee based on the quality of the contribution. In addition, an extended selection of papers will be made available on line on the Conference web site.

Papers for both, contributed talks and for posters, must not exceed 4 printed 'NIM A' pages. Papers for invited talks must not exceed 8 pages. We ask you to kindly adhere to this strict limit.

The deadline for submission of the paper is 6 April 2013.
