Abstract, Keywords, and PACS

Abstract

Use 9 point size, fully justified, and indent the text on both the left and right sides, 2 spaces in from the margins.  Your abstract should be one paragraph only. Leave two blank lines (9 point each) below the abstract.

There must be an abstract, usually between 50 and 250 words long.  All papers in AIP Proceedings are listed by various abstracting services and databases with complete abstracts. Begin the abstract with the word “Abstract.” followed by a period in bold font. Continue with normal font.

Keywords and PACS Codes

Please supply keywords and PACS codes for your article.

Keywords should describe the main topics of the research reported in the article, with 3-8 keywords typically being sufficient. Very general terms are not necessary (e.g., "physics" or "astronomy"); keywords should instead describe specific topics and thus help someone searching for articles in these subject areas.

PACS is a hierarchical scheme for categorizing physics and astronomy research articles. There are 4 levels to the hierarchy; generally the most-specific possible PACS codes should be chosen, but the higher-level terms must also be consistent with the subject of the article. Typically 2-4 terms are sufficient to describe the most important topics covered by an article. More specific instructions and the scheme itself may be found at AIP's PACS website (http://www.aip.org/pacs).

Formatting Keywords and PACS: Use 9pt size type, and indent the same 2 spaces on left and right as with the abstract. Format as shown in the example below.  Please notice that both the Keywords and PACS lines end with a period and that all entries should be in regular font. Only the words, "Keywords," and "PACS" should be in bold.

Keywords: Space reactor, spectral shift absorbers, operating lifetime, temperature reactivity feedback.
PACS: 28, 28.41-I, 28.41.Ak.
