Aims & Scope

Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics (JPhysG) publishes articles on theoretical and experimental topics in all areas of nuclear and particle physics, including nuclear and particle astrophysics. The journal welcomes submissions from any interface area between these fields. All aspects of fundamental nuclear physics research, including: nuclear forces and few-body systems; nuclear structure and nuclear reactions; rare decays and fundamental symmetries; hadronic physics, lattice QCD; heavy-ion physics; hot and dense matter, QCD phase diagram. All aspects of elementary particle physics research, including: high-energy particle physics; neutrino physics; phenomenology and theory; beyond standard model physics; electroweak interactions; fundamental symmetries. All aspects of nuclear and particle astrophysics including: nuclear physics of stars and stellar explosions; nucleosynthesis; nuclear equation of state; astrophysical neutrino physics; cosmic rays; dark matter. JPhysG publishes a variety of article types for the community. As well as high-quality research papers, this includes our prestigious topical review series, focus issues, and the rapid publication of letters.
