Announcement: New Sponsors for Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams (May 1, 2008)

Physical Review
Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams is glad to announce and to warmly
welcome eight new sponsors:

The Cockcroft Institute

European Particle Accelerator Conference 2008
(EPAC’08)

Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH
(GSI)

INFN–Laboratori Nazionali del Sud

INFN–Laboratori Nazionali di
Frascati

INFN–Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro

National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory
at Michigan State University

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

They have joined—since April 2007 and
just in time for PRST-AB’s 10th anniversary in May 2008—the
continuing sponsors:

Argonne National Laboratory

Brookhaven National Laboratory

Cornell University Laboratory for
Elementary-Particle Physics

Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron
(DESY)

European Organization
for Nuclear Research (CERN)

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator
Facility

TRIUMF–Canada’s National Laboratory for
Particle and Nuclear Physics

Among these, CERN has increased its
annual sponsorship contribution by 40% to demonstrate its commitment to the PRST-AB financing model. PRST-AB
would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors who recognize the
importance of publication in accelerator science and technology. These sponsors are
essential to the journal, and we are grateful for their contributions; through their
generosity we are able to offer PRST-AB without cost to both
readers and authors. The sponsorship now covers most of the expenses of the journal
which are predominantly editorial, production, and distributed costs. In addition to the
financial support, the wide sponsorship is recognition of 1) PRST-AB as the premier journal of accelerator physics and technology, and 2) the
contributions PRST-AB is making to the international
accelerator community.

A continually updated list of PRST-AB sponsors is available at http://prst-ab.aps.org/sponsors.html.
