Friends,

 

As discussed in the most recent general meeting, the track reconstruction group is submitting an invited paper to the "Computing and Software for Big Science" journal. In consultation with publication policy task force,  we are following the same protocol for publication as for the calorimeter test beam papers, on a somewhat condensed timeline dictated by the journal and discussed at last week's GM.

 

As for other technical publications, the author list will not include the full collaboration, but only collaborators that actively participated in this particular effort. To be added to the author list, please send a note with a very brief justification to us by May 18, so that we can finalize the author list in time for publication in early June. There will be a collaboration review of the final draft prior to submission, at this point we are just asking for authorship requests. 

For reference, the current draft can be found at https://www.overleaf.com/read/vpbqgcgsgjty

 

Best,

Gunther and Dave
