Described below are the particular requirements for submission of papers to PAC'07 - the general requirements are explained in the text of the templates available from JACoW.
All contributions should be made via the internet using the facilities provided by the organizers. However, authors must also submit a hard copy at the conference and are reminded that, since no contributions are accepted for publication only, any paper accepted for presentation, which is not presented by one of the authors at the conference, will be excluded from the proceedings. Furthermore, the Scientific Program Committee reserves the right to refuse papers for publication which have not been properly presented in the poster sessions.
Manuscripts of contributions to the proceedings (or enlargements of them) are not considered as posters and papers presented in this way will not be accepted for publication.
Manuscripts
Authors are advised to use the templates and in case of difficulties they should consult the JACOW electronic publication help pages. The templates contain styles which, when applied, will automatically ensure correct typesetting and layout.
Length of Contributions
Invited papers presented in the Session for Industry, contributed oral papers and poster presentations may be up to 3 pages long. Only invited papers may be up to 5 pages.
General Layout
See the template for a typical implementation of the requirements.

- Single spaced text in two columns of 82.5 mm (3.25 in.) with 5. 3mm

Authors should use only TIMES or Times New Roman (in roman, bold or italic) and Symbol fonts. All contributions should use 10pt fonts for the normal text.
Title
The title should use 14pt bold uppercase letters and be centred on the page.
The names of the authors and their organization/affiliation and mailing address should be listed alphabetically in 10pt upper and lower case letters, grouped by affiliation. When there is more than one author, the submitting author's name should be given first, followed by the other names in alphabetical order.
Section Headings
Section headings should use 12pt bold uppercase letters and be centred in the column. They should NOT be numbered.
Widow and Orphan Control: All headings should appear next to the following text - there should never be a column break between a heading and the following paragraph.
Subsection Headings
Subsection headings should use 12 pt italic letters, be left aligned and justified in the column. As for section headings, they should NOT be numbered.
Figures and Tables
Place figures and tables as close to the place of their mention as possible. Lettering in figures and tables should be large enough to reproduce clearly, using only the approved fonts. Use of non-approved fonts in figures often leads to problems when the files are processed and may even cause loss of information.
All figures and tables must be given sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and have a caption placed below the figure or above the table being described.
If a displayed equation needs a number, place it flush with the right margin of the column.
References
All bibliographical references should be numbered and listed at the end of the paper in a section called "REFERENCES". When referring to a reference in the text, place the corresponding reference number in square brackets. See the sample paper for a typical example.
Acronyms
Acronyms should be defined the first time they appear.
Page Numbers
DO NOT insert page numbers. They will be added by the Editing Team when they produce the final proceedings.
Templates
Authors are strongly advised to use the template corresponding to the correct version of WORD and not to transport the document across different platforms e.g. MAC <-> PC or across different versions of WORD on the same platform.
