Paper submission entails submission of an abstract and a summary paper, the details of which follow:

The Abstract will be published in an abstract book available online and in published form to symposium attendees. Your 500 word (maximum) abstract should be a complete (yet concise) summary of your research. Abstracts are entered into a web form, field-by-field when you add a new paper (under My Papers).
The Summary Paper serves two purposes: to assess the scientific merit of your work, and to aid the symposium committee in assigning you to a particular topic-based session. The summary paper must be a PDF document less than 2 MB. Summary papers must not be longer than 2 pages. Authors without direct access to PDF creation software may wish to use a free online service such as PDF Online or Neevia.

All abstracts and summaries are to be submitted no later than the deadline of Friday, February 26, 2010. Submit a paper now.

Upon submission, the following actions will be taken:

The summaries will be reviewed by the Technical Committee for content and appropriateness to the Symposium. Authors will then be notified of the Committee's selections.
The abstracts of accepted papers will be published in an abstract book provided to all registered attendees.
Authors presenting at the symposium may submit a full paper that will be peer reviewed for publication in Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A. It should contain all figures and tables and not exceed 5 pages. Deadline for receipt of the optional final paper is Friday, June 4, 2010.
Reviews of the final papers will be managed online.

Prompt responses are necessary to meet our goal of a 2010 publication date.
