Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation (LBNO) experiments have provided key insights for a deeper understanding of neutrino physics. A neutrino beam is produced using a proton accelerator and the oscillated neutrino spectrum is measured at a distance L from the production point. To minimize systematic uncertainties, it is crucial to characterize the neutrino fluxes and neutrino cross-sections before the oscillations. This is performed by using near detectors, installed close to the production point, that measure the neutrino spectra unaffected by neutrino oscillations, and by using beam monitors, which directly measure particles associated with neutrino production.
Contributions are expected to address, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Detector R&D studies;
- Novel detector designs;
- Novel event reconstruction algorithms;
- Test results.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Instruments is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
