Editor-in-chief: Ken Peach, University of Oxford and Royal Holloway (University of London)

Aims & scope

PMC Physics A is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes articles on high-energy & nuclear physics, cosmology, gravity & astroparticle physics and also the instrumentation & data analysis of results in these areas.

The journal is edited by Professor Ken Peach, supported by an Editorial Board representing the subject areas within the journal's scope.

Copyright for research articles is retained by the author, who is free to distribute the article electronically or after printing, or to ask the publishers to do so. Discussion and debate concerning articles published in PMC Physics A is actively encouraged; readers have the facility to append comments to articles, and all such communications are moderated by the editors.

Quotes

Ken Peach “I am delighted to be able to serve as the editor-in-chief of PhysMath Central's first journal. We owe it to ourselves as scientists to spread news of our research to as many people as possible, so I am excited by the idea of a true open-access title in particle physics.”

Ken Peach, Editor-in-Chief - PMC Physics A

Robert Aymar “As a leading laboratory in supporting the Open Access movement, CERN welcomes the addition of PMC Physics A to the BioMed Central stable of Open Access journals. I am particularly pleased that Professor Ken Peach, chair of the CERN Scientific Policy Committee, has been appointed the journal's Editor-in-Chief. Professor Peach brings considerable experience to the post, and his appointment further underlines the commitment of the particle physics community to Open Access”

B meson decays

PMC Physics A 2009, 3:3

This review article discusses the most important Physics thus far extracted from studies of B meson decays. We also point out where CP-violating and rare decays could lead to observations of physics beyond that of the Standard Model. If such physics is found by directly observation of new particles, e.g. in LHC experiments, B decays can play a decisive role in interpreting the nature of these particles.
Universal nonlinear filtering using Feynman path integrals II: the continuous-continuous model with additive noise

PMC Physics A 2009, 3:2

In this paper, the Feynman path integral formulation of the continuous-continuous filtering problem, a fundamental problem of applied science, is investigated for the case when the noise in the signal and measurement model is Gaussian and additive. It is shown that it leads to an independent and self-contained analysis and solution of the problem.
