You had it right! Italic is appropriate (see e.g. PDG here: https://pdg.lbl.gov/2015/tables/rpp2015-tab-mesons-charm.pdf or this Nature article:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04998-2).

Thanks for checking,

Isaac

Thanks a lot, Isaac for these details clarification. This is very helpful. Just to be clear, "c" used for charm, should be kept in italic or should I change it to Roman?

Regards,

Priyanka

Hi Priyanka,

Thanks for addressing our comments. The new draft is much improved in my opinion. As for the typographic question, my understanding is the same as the guidelines you posted*, but I see some things that are not in keeping with that standard. I’ll point them out below — hopefully it helps give a feeling for it, for the future as well.

Thanks,

Isaac

*I also like https://chemistry.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/443/which-symbols-are-written-in-roman-upright-font-and-which-are-italicized for a bit more comprehensive guideline on this specific question.

> The “D” in D meson should be italic. Same for the “K” later on.

> The “c” denoting speed of light should be italic (except any instances where it’s being used as a unit, which is not the case on l. 11 for example).

> “NN” in sqrt{s_{NN}} should be roman (since it’s a label abbreviating nucleon-nucleon sub/superscripting a variable).

> S, C, N, A, and B should be italic. They’re variables.

> The differential “d” should be roman as it’s a mathematical operator.

> Both the “V” and the “z” in “V_{z}” should be italic (also the “z” in "vertex-z”). Same with X and Y later. They also don’t need to be capitalized.

> “x” on l. 111 should be italic.

> “M” for invariant mass in Fig. 1 should be italic. It’s a physical quantity.

> “E” and “x” in “dE/dx” should be italic.

> The “n” in n\sigma should be italic.

> You have it right on l. 77 but not l. 74 for example that the “c” in the unit GeV/c should be roman.

> “S” and “B” corresponding to signal and background should be italic.

> On l. 86, you have two different settings for rapidity. It should be italic in both cases.

Hello Nihar, Isaac, Yi,

Thanks a lot for all your comments and suggestions and apologise for my delay in responding. I tried to address and implemented almost all of those.

I still have confusion about using Roman and italics and I tried to follow the specific style guidance for the journal (uploaded in Drupal for your reference).

Please find the updated version below.

Hi Priyanka,

Thanks a lot for the nice proceedings. I have some minor comments for your consideration. 

 - General: There are some strange "--", for example, after "Summary", before "Introduction". Could you remove them?  

 - L4: remove "ins" in front of Warsaw 

 - L8: I would put (c) after charm and (cbar) after conjugate, but it is up to you. 

 - L9: quark-gluon plasma --> Quark-Gluon Plasma  (be consistent with previous one in the Summary)

 - L15: "Detection of QGP" sounds a bit strange, how about "Study QGP"?

 - L35: eq.1 --> Eq. 1

 - L36: remove the space in front of "where k*..."

 - L40: eq.2 --> Eq. 2

 - L41: remove the space in front of "where N..."

 - L49: Time of flight --> Time of Flight, time projection chamber --> Time Projection Chamber

 - L50: heavy flavor tracker --> Heavy Flavor Tracker

 - L51: comminsioning --> commissioning

 - L55: K^{+/-} --> K^{\pm}  (and other places) 

 - L62: vertex position detector --> Vertex Position Detector 

 - L77: were --> where 

 - Figure 1: I would move Fig. 1 after L79.

 - L94: remove the space before "where Pair purity", Pair purity --> Pair Purity 

 - L97: It would be good to quote the size of systematic uncertainty here.

 

Cheers,

Yi

Hi Priyanka,

Sorry for my delay — I was out of the office for a while. I have a few more comments (see below) in addition to Nihar’s.

Thanks!
-Isaac

28. I know you give the reference to Mike's paper here, but I think it is important enough to the text that you should explain "area of homogeneity" (he does it in less than a sentence and I think something similar to this explanation would be adequate, so it shouldn't take too much space if there's a concern about a page limit. This would then make a better connection to the next sentence, where currently it's not as clear to the reader what the connection is between this area of homogeneity and the source.

41. It's a bit strange that kaons are mentioned here for the first time outside of the title and abstract. Somehow this should be included in the motivation in the Introduction.

46. I agree with Nihar's comment, but would recommend going one step further and removing the entire sentence ("These detectors...fundamental particles.").

Sec. 6 -- this section is dominated by the theory comparison. You have one sentence that says that the result is in Fig. 2, and you say the data are consistent with no correlations. Otherwise, the rest of the paragraph is all about the models. The experimental result should a) be described first before the model comparison is mentioned (so I would move up the "consistent with no correlations" to just after the first sentence), and b) get more detailed explanation, since this is what you worked on and what we need to report, as experimentalists.

105. You mention that it is consistent with a source size of 5 fm or larger -- it would be nice to give the reader some feeling for what a physically reasonable source size would be, roughly. E.g. what is N such that if my results were only consistent with S > N fm, I would think this is a non-physical statement / the interpretation has broken down. Then they could put your statement of > 5 fm into context.

General comment: there are some typographic mistakes. I would recommend doing a spelling/grammar check (e.g. "interpritation" on l. 116; "comminsioning" on l. 51; "were" -> "where" on l. 77, etc.).
