PROCEEDINGS

Since the first Channeling meeting we have prepared 12 books/special volumes of proceedings. The proceedings of the Frascati conferences were published by SPIE - the International Society for Optical Engineering (Proceedings of SPIE, Vol. 5974 (506pp)and Vol. 6634 (520pp)), those of the Erice meeting - by World Scientific as a special issue of "The Science and Culture Series - Physics" (823pp), while the selected papers were issued as a dedicated volume of the International Journal of Modern Physics A.The Channeling 2010 proceedings were published by the Italian Physical Society as a special volume of Nuovo Cimento C (560 pages), as well as, separately, in the book "Channeling 2010" (Publ.: SIF). The main contributions to Channeling 2012, 2014 and 2016 have been issued as dedicated volumes of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms (Vols. 309 (277pp), 355 (403pp), 402 (398pp)), and, in addition, as books entitled "Channeling 2012" (Publ.: MEPhI, 563pp) and "Channeling 2014" (Publ.: MEPhI, 490pp), respectively. The 8th edition of Channeling is presented by a number of peer-reviewed papers separately issued by Physical Review Accelerator and Beam, and finally PRAB has offered a Special Edition dedicated to the contributions of Channeling 2018 (more than 30 papers in more than 260pp). The proceedings of Channeling 2023 are published as a dedicated volume of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment and collected more than 40 papers.

Some of the aforementioned books were devoted to the memories of Hans A. Bethe, Mikhail L. Ter-Mikaelyan, Jens Lindhard, Vitaly L. Ginzburg, Vladimir N. Baier, Giordano Diambrini Palazzi, Muradin Kumakhov , who in the past strongly contributed to the research in some specific branches of the physics of beam interactions in intense electromagnetic fields, delivering new ideas and knowledge to the community.

The "Channeling 2024" proceedings will be published as a special, but consecutively numbered, issue of the journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. The contents of the Proceedings will consist of invited papers plus a selection of contributed papers.

1. The format, letter-type and layout will be the same as for the regular issues of the Journal. There will be no page charges, however, with possible length limitation (for a regular paper to be preferably within 4 NIMA ready-printed pages, while for an invited one to be extended up to 6 NIMA ready-printed pages). A manuscript should represent original work not previously published and not being considered for publication elsewhere.
   

2. The Publisher requests the submission of the electronic version of the manuscripts. On-line manuscripts' submission via Editorial Manager for NIMA Proceedings https:// www2.cloud.editorialmanager.com/ nima_ proceedings/ default2.aspx will be required starting from September 15, 2024. The submission deadline of the first version of manuscript is December 15, 2024. All manuscripts should be submitted before this date and the option to submit online via the submission system will be closed after that date.
   

3. The authors are requested to select the correct article type when they submit their articles in EES. When submitting the papers, the authors must select “VSI: Channeling 2024” as the article type. If the authors select the wrong article type, their paper may end up publishing in a regular issue and not the special issue.
   

4. In the meantime, the authors are kindly requested to have the first drafts of their manuscripts before the beginning of the conference by September 8, 2024, in order to make necessary slight post-modifications before its submission to the journal.
