Cosmic Rays

This special issue belongs to the section “Physics“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

The physics of cosmic rays is an active research area today, ranging from the nature of the production of high energy cosmic rays to state-of-the-art detection already in the framework of multi-messenger astronomy. Moreover, the data acquisition of cosmic ray signals has found applications in the field of gravitational wave detectors, as well as in seismology and in the earthquake prediction research. Since we have already reached the multi-messenger and open science/open data era, it is important to update and incorporate the cosmic ray research methodologies in order to improve efficiencies that shall result in quick developments. This Special Issue shall address all these topics and provide a landscape for future discoveries in the growing field of cosmic ray science. Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.

Dr. David Edwin Alvarez-Castillo
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
