INTroduction

For the LNL Annual Report 2015 only papers reporting new results/activities which took place within 2015 can be accepted.

The papers must be written using this template. It can be found in the web site:

http://www.lnl.infn.it/~annrep/annrep_guidelines/guidelines.htm.

The original text and figures must be submitted in editable format. Pdf-formatted copies of the paper may be useful as examples, but the final pdf version will be produced by the editorial committee.

Please make sure that your figures and captions are perfectly clear.

Before publishing, the Authors will have their papers available in the LNL Annual Report web site for the final check (besides possible previous correspondence concerning specific points, if any), for about a couple of weeks.

Please refer to your specific software guide in case you need information about the use of "Word" templates [1].

This template contains a list of predefined paragraph styles (table 1). In order to format a paragraph in a particular style, position the pointer inside the paragraph and select the appropriate style name in the Style tool of the related toolbar.

You can use this template in a simple way by directly replacing this text with your text in any section (Titles, Sections, Captions, etc.). You may type your text directly in, or, alternatively, you may paste some text in. Please note that, in this second case, you must use: Paste Special...> Unformatted Text, in order to keep the correct format of the template.

Tables and figures, which obviously may be positioned wherever convenient, could require some skill; please do not hesitate to contact the editors for help.

For the title of a section there are two style options: "LNL_AR10_5.SECTION" for the section titles inside the body of the text and: "LNL_AR10_4.SECTION-column-top" for section titles that happen to be at the top of a column, like, e.g., the "INTRODUCTION" title.

AUTHORS AND AFFILIATIONS

For the title of your contribution, please capitalize all words except articles, conjunctions and prepositions, these last ones only if their length is up to five letters.

In order to keep each Author's first-name initial(/s) and surname in the same line, you may use the "return" command or, preferably, insert a "Nonbreaking Space" in between the initial and the surname.

Do not write "and" before the last Author's name.

Each affiliation must be completely contained within a line; each line shall contain more than one affiliation (when applicable) whenever possible.

Please do not write full addresses: after the Institution name, write only the City, the Province/State when applies and the Country.

FIGURES AND TABLES

In the figures, all of the alphanumeric labels should be clearly and easily readable. Please note that this is a very important requirement. In case a figure is obtained by scaling down a large original, it may be necessary to re-write the labels in order to obtain a text of adequate size.

Figures should be positioned carefully, centered in the column and, together with the corresponding caption, conveniently separated from the text. See the example of figure 1 here below [2]. You may need to insert empty lines in order to space a table/figure conveniently.

Fig. 1. Figure example. It is a good practice to maximize the size of the figure while keeping it within the column.

Create, or transform, pictures and graphics in one of the formats Word is able to import (recommanded: "tiff"). In order to embed the figure into the Word document, first position the pointer in a paragraph close to the intended position of the figure, then use the menu: "Insert..." (not the "paste" command) to import the figure. Remember that deleting the paragraph where a figure is "anchored" implies deleting the figure itself.

Please use the option: "Top and Bottom" for the figure positioning (menu: "Format > Picture"; for some versions of Word it is necessary to select, in addition, "Layout>Advanced" to find the "Top and Bottom" option, which is not included in the "ready for use" ones).

The "Top and Bottom" mode helps to better control the exact position of the picture, using the "arrow" keys (and "alt"-arrow). The advanced option "Move object with text" should be de-selected [3,4]. The "absolute positioning" with respect to "page" is usually the preferable option.

Tables may be created directly (e.g. table 1) or inserted as images. The table content must be easily readable: the character size and the resolution must be adequate.

The table caption has to be placed on top of the table, the figure caption below the corresponding figure.

A figure or a table may occupy the width of two columns, if necessary. In this case, it cannot be placed below the references (at the end of the paper) [5].

EQUATIONS AND LISTS

The equations should be inserted in an editable format (not as a picture), by default using "MathType".In case of complex equations, for which MathType is possibly not an adequate tool, try using your favourite alternative tool, making sure that the style and size of the symbols meet the LNL Annual Report standard.

Insert the equation, then (after the comma, semicolon, or what else pertinent) type a "tab" and the equation number in brackets;

;	(1)

the style: LNL_AR10_7.TEXT-no-indent is used to continue the sentence; for instance, in order to define some equation symbols.

In order to position the equation horizontally, type a proper number of "space" characters left of the equation.

Here is a correctly styled list (LNL_AR10_12.LIST):

item number one;

item number two, with a description which requires more than one line of text.

In case you choose to number the items:

item number one;

item number two, etc.

REFERENCES and FINAL NOTES

Only papers of length up to two pages can be accepted. In case your contribution is only slightly longer than one page, please try to restrict it into one single page.

The two columns of a page should be of equal length. At the end of the paper, this can be obtained by positioning the pointer at the end of everything and selecting: "Insert"> "Break" > "Section Break (Continuous)" from the menu.

Between numerical values and measurement units there should, as a rule, be a space; e.g.: 200 g/cm2.

If you need to cite more than one reference, you can do it so: [1,2,9]; sometimes it may be convenient to cite them like here [8-12] (in case the numbers are all consecutive), or here: [1-7,12]. Do not use the authomatic endnote tool.

The thin line on top of the reference list is defined by the style LNL_AR10_REF.LINE. Empty lines may be inserted between the text and the thin line to help adjusting the column lengths.
