Instructions for authors

• The CBM Progress Report 2010 aims to document the activities and progress towards the realisation of the CBM project in 2010.

• Contributions shall be submitted by e-mail to Volker Friese (sections General, MVD, STS, RICH, TRD, TOF, CAL and Magnet) or to Christian Sturm (sections FEE/DAQ, Physics Performance, Software and Algorithms). The deadline for submission is 18 February 2010.

• The CBM-related contributions to the GSI Scientific Report 2010 will enter the CBM Progress Report. If you have submitted a contribution to the GSI system, please wait until you get notice of its acceptance. Then, send the source files of the contribution to the editors of the CBM Progress Report (see above). We do not have access to the source files from the GSI database directly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

• The report will be compiled with pdflatex. Contributions must be submitted in Latex format using the style of the GSI scientific report. Each contribution shall comprise one single page. In exceptional cases, two-page contributions can be accepted.
  • Style file: JACoW-GSI-2010.cls
  • Template: JACoW-GSI-2010.tex

• There should be no chapters / sections within a contribution.

• The format for references is like
  • I. Kisel, Nucl. Instr. Meth. Phys. Res. A 566 (2006) 85
  • A. Kiseleva et al., CBM Progress Report 2009, Darmstadt 2010, p. 65

• Refer to figures and tables as "Fig. 1" or "Table 1" (capital). At the beginning of a sentence, do not abbreviate, i.e. write "Figure 1" instead of "Fig. 1".
