Submission of Abstracts

(Deadline: 10 January 1997)

Original papers are solicited, not previously published or presented, describing technical contributions, new developments, and operational aspects of accelerators. The acceptance of contributed papers for poster sessions or 10-minute oral presentations will be based upon the abstracts submitted. These abstracts will be published in the Bulletin of the American Physical Society and must be submitted according to the procedures and conform to the format standards given therein or in APS Meeting News. Note, however, that some APS rules are waived for this conference: papers may be submitted by non-members of the APS, and more than one abstract may be submitted with the same first author (the first author is expected to make any oral presentation).

The deadline for the submission of all abstracts (contributed and invited) is 10 January 1997, 5:00 pm EST at the APS Headquarters in Maryland. This deadline is firm, so don't wait until the last minute! Send early and save yourself the stress.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION

Submitting abstracts electronically proved popular for PAC'95 and EPAC'96 and will provide advantages not available with paper submission:

E-mail message confirming receipt of your abstract
E-mail notification of the scheduling of your paper
The complete abstract will appear in the electronic version of the program, which will be posted on the APS Home Page well in advance of the printed program.

For information on how to submit an abstract of a contributed paper electronically, send an e-mail message to abs-info@aps.org and use the word info as the text of your message. To receive the template, send a message to abs-request@aps.org with the words request PAC97 as the text. The information and/or template will be returned to you by e-mail. If you have particular questions regarding the information, or need assistance, send a message to abs-help@aps.org.

Invited abstracts are handled in a similar way, but there is a special request address for the proper template and files. Invited authors should send a message to absreqinv@aps.org with the phrase request PAC97 as the text.

Submitting electronically is easy. The mark-up language APS uses is LaTeX, but you do not need to know LaTeX in order to submit an abstract. Simple ASCII text will suffice, unless you need to put mathematical symbols or Greek characters in the text of your abstract - and most of those instructions are simple.

Please do NOT also send a paper abstract if you are submitting your abstract electronically.

Some Electronic Do's and Don't's

Do not simply "reply" to the address from which you received the abstract template. Send the abstract to abs-submit@aps.org. Make sure you have the correct meeting ID: PAC97.

One abstract per message! The system is automated. Sending two or more abstracts in one message increases the likelihood that all but the first abstract will disappear into the ether.

Use only one sorting category for your abstract in the "Sort Category" field. In order to sort the papers properly, it is important that the system deal with only one request. If you wish to give additional guidance to those who are arranging the program, please do so in the "Special Instructions" field. The "Sort Category" field has four pairs of curly braces. Please use them as follows:

\Sort Category {A}{9}{}{}

NOT

\Sort Category {A9}{}{}{}
\Sort Category {A}{9}{T}{16}.

Do not remove left-over braces.

Only submit your abstract once. You should receive an e-mail message within 24 hours, verifying that APS received your message. If you do not, contact abs-help@aps.org.

Be sure to include your full postal address in the \Special Instructions {} field, so that we can send you the instructions for preparating papers and a copy of the Program Booklet.

Basic audio-visual equipment will be provided in all meeting rooms. All contributed and invited session rooms are equipped with an overhead projector, screen and pointer. If you would like to request additional equipment, please include the request in the \Special Instructions {} field in the electronic template, or at the bottom of your paper.

SUBMISSION ON PAPER

Abstracts received via postal mail will be accepted, but only the title and authors of the paper are guaranteed to appear in the APS Bulletin, either in the printed or the World Wide Web versions; text will only be included if there is enough spare typing effort.

To ensure that your abstract fits in the allowed space, please follow the instructions for the preparation of abstracts of contributed papers as they appear in each issue of APS Meeting News. Below the abstract be sure to add:

your name
full postal address
e-mail address
sorting category
presentation option (oral/poster/no preference)
any special equipment request.

All abstracts must be at the APS office by the deadline date. APS assumes no responsibility for mail delays. Receipt of paper abstracts will not be confirmed unless accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope. Abstracts should be addressed to:

PAC97 Meeting Abstracts
APS Meetings Department
One Physics Ellipse
College Park, MD 20740-3844
USA

Abstracts of invited papers are printed in a special format; instructions will be sent to the authors.
